I hope Honda Canada will only add curtain airbags to the base/Touring CSX and nothing else (since the current base/Touring grade already has ABS with EDB, side airbags, cruise control, all disc brakes) , don't care for sun/moonroof or alloy wheels! They can do whatever they want with the "Premium" or "Navi" grades. ;D

Here's the Honda JApan Civic sight.  It looks like the Civic here though.  Is there any difference?

Also, I only saw the 1.8L listed, when the CSX is supposed to be a 2.0L...

did one of those articles say it will be CANADIAN ONLY?  I thought the US was getting it too?

The Canadian market will be flooded with them!

Went to First Markham Place last night to get some fried noodles.
Was astonished with the number of Acuras in the parking lot, mostly ELs and TSXs, a few TLs, 1 RL, no NSXs.  :P

Typical question.
Where will they be made/assembled? Japan or Alliston?

My guess would be Alliston. Isn't that where the 2005 Civic/EL, and the 2006 Civics all came from?

Alliston it is, I met one last Friday a couple of km's south of the plant on the Tottenham Rd.  It was a Ruby Red colour with the badges taped up.  Rear taillights were from the JDM Civic.
