    One thing about the rhd vs rhd. If the coupe was made in America only it could have still been made rhd. The Marysville plant was the first auto plant in the us to make both left and right hand drive in the US. So they probably could have made a rhd coupe with little problem.

    The honda marysville plant does make both LHD and RHD drive cars. and I am pretty sure all coupes were made in US, cuz when I had a 4 door it was made in japan but my coupe of the same year was made here.

    that car dont look bad but I serious doubt thats its in japan...japan would never pass inspection to a car with LHD from the factory...also I would think the liscene plate holes on the bumper would be more spread out to fit it...even if its aftermarket

    I don't know. I'm going to stray away from the majority here and vote nay for the car looking good. I absolutely hate 3 spoked wheels, and them being chrome with chrome wheel well trim is ugly in my opinion. The rag top must go! Haha. Eeek...

    That's got to be the cleanest living DX I've ever seen.

    Wow, that's absolutely amazing-that car does not look like it's 20 years old!

    I wouldn't doubt that car is in Japan..
    for one, their Licence plates are the same size as ours ( i know, i've been there)
    and yes Japan would allow a LHD drive car to pass inspection, just as you can import a car from overseas to NA and get it inspected and passed aswell..

    there is a place here in vancouver that does that. actually they have a 3rd gen sedan too. From japan but it has USDM flip-ups and it's LHD. it has the jdm markers and all.. so Japan does have some LHD cars aswell..

    but ya i do believe the coupes were all made in US. Mine was made in Ohio

    but i think thats a nice lookin car... very clean and carries it's own style
