Hey,

I was just wondering if there were any differences between the 2007 - 2008 TL's that are made in the US vs those made in Canada (aside from the different speedometer and gauges).

Did the American TL Type S have any options to consider buying it brand new, or is it fully loaded from the start?

Would be very helpful to get an answer to these questions, as I am considering purchasing one very soon!!! Thanks

The American TL-S version is loaded from the start. Other than gauges, I don't think there are any differences. I may be wrong. Welcome to AZ

I believe the canadian model doesnt have the shark fin XM antenna.
Some one correct me if i'm wrong.

^also maybe missing the XM button that is on our U.S. head unit itself. ?

I don't think there any differences other than the gauges in kms and the temp in celsius.
Canadian model doesn't have Taupe/ebony int, and the MRP ext.
Ohhh and Canadian model does have the hump for the xm radio.
I have a 07 type-s American model i don't have the shark fin for xm.

Sharks fin!? Are you thinking 09/10 models? The TL-S has a dome looking cover.

Aren't all TL's made in Marysville, Ohio? Even the Chinese-market model?

I'm not 100% sure about the TL-S, but I know a bunch of Canadian market Civics did not have AC....

lol think he means American version vs Canadian version.....I think the MDX made in Canada.

Uh, yeah....we have AC in CAD models.

Some colour combos weren't available up here, but otherwise the cars are the same.

I just want to clarify, that from 07+, they added XM.

So models, before 2007 would not have XM (and its antenna).

That aside, the OP wanted to know the differences between 2007-2008 models, so everyone should just leave "XM" out of this discussion.

The canadian models have french stuff, also.

LessisBestmakingendsmeet

This is correct. No TLs are assembled in Canada. The factory line for Canadian TL's are adjusted in Marysville.

the only difference between canadian and american TL Type-S is the speedo, and the fact that there is no XM navtraffic in Canada

Thanks! Your answers will really help my decision. I'm glad there aren't any major differences, as I'm considering importing the car here to Canada.

Has anyone here had any experience importing an American car to Canada? Is it a lot of trouble? Will I have to make any modifications to the car before importing? (ie. daytime lights). I'm also wondering if all the functions will work the same here such as the navigation?

Check out the Registrar of Imported Vehicles (RIV) website....details are all there.

i believe the canadian version also has a low windshield washer fluid indicator whereas the US version does not have it

Check out the RIV web site, all the info listed there, for 07-08 TL you dont need any moddification except for the French and English labels you can buy the whole set less than $150 and stick them on, i didnt do mine cuz i know the technician at the Canadian Tire in Brampton. i dont think American dealers would sell new car to Canadian any more but used cars they would, i got mine new 3 years ago when they still selling to Canadian. Make sure that you can get a recall letter from Honda and fax the papers like the recall letter, bill of sale and the tittle to US border 72 hours before you import the vehicle.
Good luck if you decied go this route.

Ramrodthrusterpuppy

Sure they will...as long as your cheque is good, US dealers will sell you anything. You cannot finance through them though, it would have to be a cash deal.

Is there a difference in regards to the navi? Does it cad streets, etc? Can recalls be fixed by Honda Canada?
