Yeah, you can pretty much get that car in Canada as the Acura 1.7EL. It looks different on the outside but the interior is very similar.

I had the older 1.6EL and it was a great car in terms of interior appointments. Leather, cd/cass, pwr mirrors/doors/locks/trunk, moonroof, alloy wheels, metallic paint, sport suspension, Si engine (in Canada, which means only 127hp - not the 160hp from the US Si), low profile tires...just to name a few things.

eh, you guys are making a pretty big fuss over a nav screen and some leather. The irony is if they did offer that trim package here, all the posts would read, "I can't believe they're charging that much for a Civic!!"

Not flamming, I just think the Civic is what it is, and does quite nicely at that.

It's what the Japanese rappers roll in

That is pretty cool though...

But at the end of the day it'll still be a ... Civic...
