Well, in Canada, you could actually buy one alongside the regular Civic. Enter the CSX. It’s not really much different than the USDM Civic, but it’s actually the JDM Civic, if you can wrap your head around that.

Also available in Type-S flavour, if you’re too BUSINESS for a Civic Si.

Notice the tail lights.

I always really liked this generation of Civic, it was a bit weird when new, but it’s aged really well. Honda are good at that, cars that look meh when new, but looking back, they’re great and look almost modern.

Can’t wait for CDM (Canadian Domestic Market) to become a thing.

I've seen American Prelude guys buy CDM heated seats from Canadian partouts.

To be fair, heated seats are amazing.

Sort of like how the TSX was the JDM Accord. Except people probably aren't putting Civic badges on their CSX.

That looks good. Unlike the TSX I saw the other day that had a front H badge and Acura badging everywhere else.

It is not based on the JDM Civic. The CSX was designed for Canada, then Honda Japan saw it and loved it, and took the design.

Huh. I always thought it was the other way around.

Mainland Europe got the same Civic as well, but the UK got this thing.

I prefer the JDM/Canadian/European Civic to it though, the UK one is not really my kind of car.
