    What we had before the imports (Warning: crap cars!)

    Apart from the rare B20A powered EX-2.0i this is what Honda decided NZ was gonna have:







    They were all A20A powered, and were even less restrivtive than the JDM models so they weren't too slow. They never got a facelift, all models have early JDM style tails. There was the LX and EX, both were shit but the LX was more shit.

    I saw one in Christchurch a few years ago, no idea where it was imported from though. Didn't think to check if it was LHD or RHD

    ^^ coupes were all made in the US and shipped to japan and other markets, so all were LHD.

    The JDM ones have the same design as the Aerodeck tails. I like the USDM design best.
