The Acura CSX is an Acura badged version of the Japanese 8th generation Honda Civic that replaces the Acura EL as Acura's entry-level luxury car. It is essentially a luxury version of the Honda Civic, with extra length added to it. It is only available in Canada. Like the EL, it is built in Alliston, Ontario, Canada. The CSX went on sale in November 2005 as a 2006 model. The CSX is the first Acura model with two predecessors, since the CSX's predecessors were the Integra sedan (1986-1996) and the EL (1997-2005).

Design

The CSX is not a rebadged JDM Honda Civic, rather Honda Japan chose the Canadian-designed CSX as the JDM Civic - meaning the JDM Civic is in fact a rebadged Acura.

“

...contrary to a popular misconception, Acura Canada didn't merely re-badge a Japanese Civic with an Acura label, but rather designed the car from scratch, more or less, at which point it was adopted by Honda Japan, as its new Civic; Japanese buyers traditionally being more conservative than North Americans and/or Europeans when it comes to design. On another note, the CSX's unique side-view mirrors, which integrate an unorthodox triangular turn signal, may have first appeared on the Civic Hybrid but were originally designed for the compact Acura, and were only adopted by the Hybrid later on, in order to give the car a more modern, space-age character.[1]
