Well the SiR is gone....replaced by an Acura EL (I like to call it "baby tsx")

 

Nice.

04 EL's look alot better than the 03's. And standard fogs too, not even the TSX has the damn standard fogs.

Singned, a fellow Boltonite.

 

Very nice

 

Yeah I love the standard fogs and the lower turn signals are very remenicent of the prelude

 

For those that did'nt notice the EL has almost the same brake/reverse light setup as the TSX

 

those fogs do look like 5G JDM Prelude fogs, nice cars

 

yup good taste

 

nice pics, that EL looks like its ABP.

I saw a 1.6EL here the other day....though I've seen many 1.7 in Toronto.

 

nice pics. i like the color of the el

 

here is a better pic of the color.......I love the depth of this color...I cant wait to get some good wax on it.

 

That blue is beautiful!!!

 

Ummm. I have never seen that car before. Is it only sold in Canada? Hmmm, looks like my Civic.

 

Yup...only in Canada...eh

 

nice blue, the foggies are nice as well

 

Because thats what it is A luxury Civic... still a cool car tho

 

EL = civic dipped in gold

Sweet!

 

I've heard that saying too!

The new EL's look much better than the older ones.

 

looking good!

 

Good taste! The new EL has a more aggressive looking and it's nice. I had a 98 EL and he served me well. 5MT - amazing. How's the ride?

Your TSX...it's EXACTLY same setup as mine! (tinted, OEM kit without spoiler) I'm gussing me and you are both waiting for a good lip spoiler, haha

 

The ride is nice and the Potenza's are an added bonus.

the 5mt is a little long in the throw but still nice ( I see a short shifter in its future)

civic dipped in gold is right!!! heated leather, heated mirrors, climate control, etc

 

Something about Civic and luxury in the same sentence that doesn't sound right. How much does one of these "dipped in gold Civics" cost, maybe in US dollars if you will.....

 

Not much more than a 127HP Civic Sedan.

Here is CAD pricing.

EL Premium - 5MT = $25,100
EL Premium - 4AT = $26,100

EL Touring - 5MT = $23,100
EL Touring 4AT = $24,100

Civic Si Sedan 5MT = $22,510
Civic Si Sedan 4AT = $23,510

The EL Touring and Civic Si are closy matched. Neither have the Sunroof or leather and for about $600 dollars more your getting a better looking car with climate control and a few extras.

Move upto the EL Premium and you add leather and a sunroof for 2.5k more.

 

Guess that's not too bad. 19K for a top of the line EL. The Civic EX goes up to about 18K I think.

 

damn u canucks, with your white exterior, and ebony interiors!

 

nicw pwp!!!

 

hmm my sister has a 04 civic maybe i should tell her to get the EL grill and emblems...along with the lights hahaha

 

funny part is we could have got the same combo (PWP/ebony leather)on the EL as well....but that might have been a little over the top

 

Like Accord and luxury aka TSX or TL?

 

Every Lexus I can think of is a dipped in gold Toyota so whats your point?

 

Booooooooyaaaaaa take that smarty pants

BTW the EL gets great gas mileage first tank 590km on 43L

 

Nice fogs, but its still a Civic sedan.

 

I agree(topic title) now if I only had a driveway for mine(in sig)

I really like that blue color

 

if the civic looked like that overhere, it would be a huge hit.

 

You see them everywhere here so I'm kind of surprised they don't just make it a Civic in the US.

 

Can you import an EL here? If so, how come I haven't seen any?

 

Canadian Acura dealers can't sell Canadian models to consumers in the US (the dealers pay a huge fine if they do). If you want one, I believe you have to live in Canada (with an insurance company in Canada) then move to the states with it.

 

Sorry man, I own a Civic EX right now.. and tried to do a EL conversion.. turns out.. I need to buy new fenders, hood,.. not just grill + headlights..

 

just looked at the pics, anyone know why this Acura EL isn't sold in the USA?

 

Cause Acura hates us? J/k.. Probably cause they think it won't sell here... Then again, if they sell it here...people are going to bitch about how it's going to cheapen Acura's image

 

well, the RSX already does cheapen the Acura image, right?
