Should Acura offer this car in the US?

Im assuming it's a Civic in Acura clothing ?

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...... do ya think so???????

The only thing that the Civic dosen't have that the CSX has is leather seats.

BTW, if you go to acura.ca they have specs on the new mdx.
The usa site only had the 2006 model.

yeah of course we have updates! the mdx n the new cr-v are built just 45 mins. north of toronto!

This is a stupid post, it's a Civic!!!!!!!!

They will not offer this car in the US. They are trying to move Acura upmarket here. See the RSX.

I suppose I should have said it's basically a glorified Civic. Though I thought it was a little obvious.

Will,

The Acura CSX is supposed to be a Civic with leather and Acura badge. They do not go to much length to differentiate them ala ES 350/Camry. Compare the Civic and CSX's interior. They would never pin this against the Lancer and Impreza because the whole point is that the CSX is supposed to be the "classy civic". Putting the CSX against the Lancer and Impreza would be the complete opposite!

How are the Camry and ES 350 the same? I'll admit that the older generations are pretty much the same, but I think that Lexus has made it clear with the new ES 350 that they aren't a Toyota. If you made a list, there would be more differences than similarities between the two cars. The only thing the have that is the same that I can think of on the spot is the engine, other than that, nothing.

I meant Acura didn't try to differentiate the CSX from the Civic as opposed to how Lexus differentiated the ES 350 largely from the Camry. The ES 350 looks like a Lexus. The Camry looks like a cutting edge new Toyota. The Civic looks like a CSX and vice-versa.

NO way. You see with Acura's other models none of them look like anything that Honda sells in the US.
RSX - Not sold as Honda in US (Integra)
TSX - European & Japanese Accord (No Honda Version in US)
TL - Nothing that looks like in US.
RL - Honda Legend (No Honda Version in US)
MDX - Pilot doesn't look like it
NSX - No Honda Version.

My point is that the CSX looks too much like the Civic and it would hurt Civic sales; the CSX would just be bad venture. I mean look at the G20 from Infiniti, the MB C230 hatchback, BMW 318ti, etc. Acura doesn't need this thing.

The Honda version of the Acura NSX is the HONDA NSX.

I don't think Acura needs it and it doing so would only bring down the brand's image a'la Mercedes crappy hatchback.

Honda Civic 4-doors + Hybrid version!!!

But it looks nice live!!! :)

yes its from canada.
and he has an accent, an american one.
do americans/canadians not think they have accents? because you do, you know. you guys say ciddy instead of city for example.
and you say it a-cura? i thought it was acuura, with a soft u.

Yes, but you must admit, Brit accents are stronger than American accents, and so are Canadians (but to a lower extent). It's odd how Americans have different accents throughout the nation; people from Boston have the worst ones, not to offend anyone here from Boston.

Do you say "city" very classy-like? Because there's not much other way to say it.

Acura: A-CURE-A is how to pronounce it.

And this CSX is very stupid. I once saw an Acura EL, which used to be the re-badged Civic that was sold in Canada.

golly gosh, i do do say city, with a t. classy? we all say city here, not ciddy.
people have misconceptions about a british accent, nobody here talks like the traditional image of britishness. there are a ton of accents, the most common is probably estuary english (dropped ts, er's go to a's ie don't know becomes dunno). everyone who's not from the north, birmingham or cornwall speaks it, and if you are upper middle class, you speak it mixed with standard english (like me).
american accents are really strong to me, you can instantly tell, it's more whiney than other accents (LA seems to be one of the strongest, on words with Os in them especially).
the are a few americans in my year at school, they all say ciddy, kneow (in lieu of know), neame (name), and generally drag their words out more (again seems to be an LA thing, one from chicago says bull instead of bill, and adds more As and Us, LA adds more Is and Es).
the guy in the video said Acc-ura.

CANADIAN'S DO NOT HAVE ACCENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!! You see... I am a black-Canadian (Jamaican background) and people from the United-States (New-York and Florida) really and truley think that I am cauccasasian!

Y'all American's and Brit's have accents... and Rupert yes it is "Acuurra" like "Acorra" its like Porsche and Porschea!

Please don't mistake a lazy manner of speaking for an accent. Not everyone chooses to butcher the English langauge.

It's just a rebadge civic

Yes it is.

You can see these in Canada, its crap and its a rebadged honda civc

I belive we've established that.

If Acura added enough differences to it than the Civic, like a V6, SmartAccess, xenon lights, etc. then they should definetely sell this car. That would give it enough differences to the Civic to make it more of a luxury brand than a Honda.

btw this car is offered with an 8 speaker sound system and paddle shifters!

Let's let CANADA have this one!

Most of the people won't know what A-cure-A or acuura is ;).

All Acura vehicles suck!I will never consider Acura as a Luxury car company!!

Well, you obviously haven't driven a TSX 6MT then.
This car definately has the credintials to make it an entry level sports sedan. Probably has the best shifter on the planet, and easily one of the most refined engines in that segment. Give it a try sometime.

The Civic Si is a great commuter car and I was considering getting one until I found out that I couldn't upgrade to leather (as well other options) available on Acura models. So I'd gladly pay $23-25k for this acura.

I would prefer the Euro Civic more.

btw NO-BODY buys these here in Canada! And this actually turns out to be cheaper than the new Civic... you make the same downpayment on this Acura and you pay about $60-$75 more in a monthy payment!

Essentially it IS a rebadge of a Civic. But has anyone at least looked at the specs on the engine? HELLO!!!!! It has the 2.0L 4 cylinder engine from the RSX, and in you can't get the Civic with Nav or leather here in canada. That's why you'd move to the CSX. Some people preffer the styling of the CSX to the Civic, and the 197hp 2.0L engine will make its debut on the CSX Type S later on.
