Essentially a JDM Civic with the Acura hood and grille, which does look better than the JDM Civic nose, and I do quite like that butt better than on the NADM Civic sedan.
Besides those, the other differences I see from the Civic are the mirror turn signals, different wheels, there's a bit more silver and chrome stuff on the inside, it looks like the rocker panels are different, you can get navi (which is not offered in the Canadian Civic, unlike the U.S.)...oh, and there's the matter of the engine...15HP more, 11lb.ft. more torque, DOHC as opposed to SOHC. That I think is the biggest upgrade for the CSX and the biggest differentiation it has made from the Civic, compared to the previous EL models. The suspension is also supposed to be tuned more sportier than the basic Civics. So this will be the fastest and best handling stock "Civic" sedan in the world. From the info Acura Superman posted in another thread, they are almost marketing it as a 4 door RSX.
We've got navi in Canada on the TSX, TL, MDX and RL...just like in the U.S. It took us a while, but we got it.
And it also recognizes Quebecois voice instructions...not French, Quebecois!
Not bad, but that interior...I dunno. It may grow on me but for now it looks too sterile. Almost makes me wish they'd thrown some wood in there, LOL. Wait no I hate faux wood.
