If you follow integra's RSX's are the next generation integra. Also in Japan the Integra is the Honda Integra. So it works. Trust me. This guy is at least unique.:top:


I once heard that Hondas and Toyotas aren't sold in Japan...??:dontknow:

Uhh... no.... Acura's and Lexus's (Lexii ? what's the plural of Lexus ?) aren't sold in Japan. All Acura's in this country are sold as Honda's in Japan (and in many other markets, since Acura is largely a north American thing) and Lexii are sold as Toyota's in Japan (Lexus RX330 = Toyota Harrier, Lexus LS = Toyota Celsior, etc), though the Lexus name is marketed in much of the rest of the world. And the same with Infinity, no go in the Japanese market, sold as Nissans over there where applicable (Infinity M's = Nissan Fuga, Infinity FX = ??? not even sold in Japan).

Oh... okay... I was in Japan on a biz trip two years ago. That's where much of my info came from. So, yep, things certainly can and do change... :top:

Far as I know, there is no Acura in Japan, just Honda. There are several cars that we see as Acuras here, but are in fact Hondas in Japan. The NSX and Integra are the most common.

Well, yes, there are some regional marketing naming differences. The US market (Ohio built) Accord is imported and sold in Japan as the Inspire. The Japanese market Accord (yes, there is one, it's is also sold in Europe) is sold in the US as the Acura TSX. They're two physically different cars. The US market Acura TL (00-04) used to be sold in Japan as the Honda Sabre. The US market Acura CL (01-03), however, wasn't sold in Japan. The US market Honda Oddessy and the Japanese market Oddessy aren't the same as each other and have no equivalents in each other's markets.

Q: I watched a test drive show a few weeks ago, the guy drove the Lexus ISF in Japan. Pretty sure the car was right hand drive and all. The car was built and designed in Japan. ?? :dontknow: Just curious....:top:

Thanx for the feedback guys

Man I think we just had an intellectual debate a few pages back about Japan vs. American market. It was pretty interesting.

The alignment on the speaker on the right would annoy the hell outta me.
