Well there is no Acura in Japan or Infinity or for that matter Lexus. It's all a bunch of crap to make the Americans think they are buying from a different company other than Honda, Nissan, Toyota. You prolly knew that though.

Last time I was in Tokyo I saw some weird ass Honda's that were a cross between the Accord and the Prelude. Not sure what the model was called but it worked. Was sporty and big. Kinda like me! :P

The new TL doesn't exist there, the 1st and 2nd gen were the Inspire. THe 3rd gen Inspire is our Accord.
The MDX is the MDX over ther
The TSX is an Accord.
And the RL is the Legend.

These are all under Honda badges.

People like Skyline's because they are hard to get which makes them seem like the God of cars to the untrained eye.

as far as i know it just has to pass california emissions, have all the windows changed to tempered glass d.o.t. approved,.... the emissions part isnt too hard since you can use most us spec stuff on it.. like if you took the turbo off, put a different intake, working cat converter, w/o2 sensors, and have it tuned to where it was puttin out the correct ammound of emmissions. the glass part is pretty self explanatory.

The CSX is already out on sale. They got rid of the EL and named it CSX, only sold in Canada. So bascially like the old EL but changed it's name.

This is such a popular question.

There are no cl's in japan, ACURA is AMERICAN HONDA. Nuff said. Honda's version is the accord, or the other way around, whichever you prefer.

I really like skylines. Are there other cars that i would take over one. Hell ya. But i love th lines on the skyline. I have seen many in person and i love them.

My friend had one in okinawa and to bring it back it woul dhave cost him 14k US to bring it back. Shipping is free, its the us legal crap.
