Acura CSX
The Acura CSX, or Honda Civic for the Japanese domestic market , is Acura’s entry-level luxury car exclusively designed for the Canadian market. The CSX is the first Acura model with two predecessors, the Integra sedan and the EL . Like the EL, it is only available in Canada and built in Alliston, Ontario, Canada.The Acura CSX is not a rebadged JDM Honda Civic, rather Honda Japan chose the Canadian-designed CSX as the template for the JDM Civic. Externally, the CSX shares its cab forward architecture with the American-market Civic. Differentiating the Acura from its mainstream North American counterpart include a slightly longer nose with shaped headlamp clusters, a full-width lower air intake and a slight crease up the hood’s centreline. At the rear, jewelled taillamps and the shaping of the trunk’s sheet metal contrast the upscale-marketed CSX from the Civic.The Acura CSX shares some features with the JDM Civic, most notably the 2.0 L DOHC i-VTEC engine rated at 155 hp at 6000 rpm and 139 ft·lbf at 4500 rpm. Also shared with the JDM Civic are the front and rear fascias; the steering wheel is used in Japanese, European, and American-market Civic models.
