A Message to All Civic Owners

This is really interesting to read, I knew usa has very strong street scene, but this is getting more intense.

I've understood, that you have almost every tuning parts available in the states? What comes to finland, you really need to hunt down some cool parts, if you really want'em. I've seen many american forums dedicated to acura, and jesus those guys had so cool rigs.

just to clear things up when you are talking about acuras is that an integra? or another model of car?
from the other day i just assumed it was the honda badge renamed for the us market much like GM or Ford and Mazdas and the like.

Honda is Acura in the states. Integra is one model of Honda, just like Accord and Civic. Integras are the sporty model of Honda, including the 1.8l engine with 190bhp.

I wouldn't even fit in that porsche.

I'm 6'1" and it was a tight fit when it came to the head room. Everything else was very....very comfortable. I'm trying to get the video I took with my digital camera to work, but it's giving me grief. Vette/Camero V-8's sound great, but $400k worth of technology jammed into a 5.7 liter V-10 (Porche) produces a sound I never could have dreamed of......hopefully it will work.

I didn't see this question answered.

Anyway, for those of you non-Americans, and Acura is the american division of Honda. Import restrictions a decade ago forced the Japanese to form either American subsidiaries or separate companies in order to import more cars.

Toyota = Lexus

Datsun/Nissan = Infinity

Honda = Acura

It was only neceesary is you sold enough cars. The original Lexus LS 300's were the exact same car as a Toyota Camry. I actually sat in a Lexus that had a Camry nameplate on the dasboard.

Acura's are actually built in the US. Nice cars but way over priced.

Just look the second message of this page, I already answered to his guestion.

And Toyota isn't a lexus. Lexus is a sister-corporation owned by Toyota, those brands are sold separately, as far as I know. Infinity being nissan is new to me, can't say about it.

Acutally, you're wrong. Before Lexus became popular, you could pop the hood of one and see "Toyota" everywhere. Same with Acura's, Honda parts, just a different label. Mazda is genuine Ford product. Seriously, I think there are like 4 total car manufacturers world wide that use different names as a marketing scheme.

K, either you're like 150 years old, or full of shit. Maybe my lack of international law knowledge is coming back to haunt me, but it would take about a century to accumulate that many tickets(moving violations), after the suspentions and revoking of your driver's license. The US wouldn't let you close to a car after the first 10 tickets. Maybe you are getting a lot of fix-it/warning tickets, or you haven't had a license sinse you were 17 and have payed a large fortune to your govt.

I know lexus uses lots of Toyota parts, including the desing department. But it still is sister-company of Toyota, and belongs to it's own brand. Do you have Toyota's in the states? Because we have Toyota and Lexus as a different brands, and many other countries does also. So we can't say Lexus = Toyota, altough they use same parts and designing-team. But so does VW-corporation and Ford. They use each others parts, Ford and Mazda are very similar by parts, Volvo engines are being used widely etc.

acura is to honda what lexus is to toyota and what the infini is to nissan.

a higher level of the others. they are basically the same but nicer and more money... they are really the same companies.

lol....this is serbia dude....no laws like in good ol' us or can...... our inflation ratio is so big, so when it comes to paying for a ticket is like byuing a pack of matches (last one ive payed was like 2 us dollars, for speedin 48 km/h over the limit). and the law with that resticitive stucture will start from september this year (with points and stuff). so..i ll still be able to drive. they never took my drivers licence from me. and im just 27 - so 9 years of driveing. and dont say 2 ppl they r full of s***. thats rude.

volvo is made by gmc the ecotech in the colbalt ss is the same one found in most volvos

here is a link to my next The all-new 2007 Dodge Caliber SRT4 With its taunting 300 horsepower and tantalizing 260 lb-ft of torque,i think this will hand it to most stock turbo cars and some refindment and putting it on a diet it wold realy have evos and sti running to get more mods.....lol i love this...and i heard starting out around 22k hows that?????

i think everyone needs to quit arguing about american vs. import cars because when it comes to american cars, they are probably designed by an asian, build by a canadian, then put together in america.
