I had always been under the impression that US/CA were the only ones that got 3G hatchbacks?

They got aerodecks, didn't they? The rear lights are similar if not the same.
very similar yes, but also definitely different. Notice the aero has rounded corners on the inside sides of the housings, while the hatchies do no. Those look very square in the pic.
I'm confused.
-Mark D.
Yeah, you're right. Those look more like hatch ones.
i think almost everywhere, except a few countries got hatchbacks. i know we did haha. we even got a couple coupes here, so we have all kinds of 3geez here woot. sedans, aerodecks, hatches & coupes. go nz! lol. k i'll shut up now
Europe didn't get hatches, that's more than just a few countries
Why am I just hearing about this now? Fook this, I'm packing my bags. I'm moving. I want a collection of all 4(5) different flavors.Originally Posted by A18A
So you get:
Aerodeck
Hatchback
Coupe
Sedan (flip and fixed?)
-Mark D.
over here coupes are as rare as a nice tasting dog shit, ive only ever known of 1 or 2 here, since theyre lhd only, but yes we get all that other stuff.. feel free to bring over a ship full of coupes on your way to make them less rare lol
Do your coupes and hatchbacks have fixed lights, too? I heard that all Aerodecks have flips...over here coupes are as rare as a nice tasting dog shit, ive only ever known of 1 or 2 here, since theyre lhd only, but yes we get all that other stuff.. feel free to bring over a ship full of coupes on your way to make them less rare lol
They could have been lazy and not taken a picture if their actual tail light or one from another Aerodeck, so they just used that one.
i want some coupe jdm stuff...but yeah i think they got like the hatchback s

Redzone tuned
I heard the Coupe aka Notchback was only built in NorthAmerica, and the japs and whatnot liked it so much they would import it, and be drivin on the left. Kinda what we're doing now with the later Supras and the Skyline...
mee too I want a full leather primo sei and an aerodeck and 3geez panel wagon made from 4th gen wagon turret top w tailgate (not seen one yet lol)
only the sedans came standard with fixed headlights, all others would have to have been converted. and japan never got hatchbacks, they did get coupes though, they built them in the USA and exported them to japan (apparently it was cheaper or something) under the "import edition" name
Yah those lucky .... lol.. I also want 3G in all flavors. Can get Aerodeck here but not the other two. Coupe and Hatch. Dos Hatchbacks ever been made in SEi trim?
I figured EXi here is like SEi over in US, besides we didnt got facelift bumpers and 6.9" rear speakers.
You need to send me one SEi Coup Mark
Its prttey fnuny how you can raed tihs eintre snetnece with all tehse ellters out of palce...
My Build Thread
I think the SE-i only came in coupes and sedans (sedans being more rare, I believe...). Hatchbacks didn't even have an LX, did they? It was either DX or LX-i, right? Then our coupes and sedans had DX, LX, LX-i, SE(?) and SE-i.Yah those lucky .... lol.. I also want 3G in all flavors. Can get Aerodeck here but not the other two. Coupe and Hatch.

So what i am gathering, and please correct me if i missed something
Hatch (Made in the U.S. Only)- USA, CA, NZ, AU, and possibly other countries. No EU or JA
Coupe (Made in the U.S. Only) - USA, CA, NZ, AU, JA, but not AU
Aerodeck (Made in Japan Only) - NZ, AU, JA, EU, but not U.S.
Sedan (Made in Japan only??) (Flips)- ALL
Sedan (Made in Japan only) (Fixed) - All but U.S.
Did Canada have the fixed set-up?
Nope, i dont think ive ever seen fixed headlights on a 3gee. Also, werent the ones with LHD built in the US, and sent to Canada aswell?
As far as i know, the majority of europe never saw the pop-up headlight model....
So in Japan you could order a fixed or popup sedan?....
Btw, I beleive our EX-i is basically the equivilent of the LX-i and not the SE-i because the SE-i was a special edition whereas the EX-i wasn't.... The EX-i did however come with 4 wheel disk brakes and ALB, i think in most of europe...
We have fast cars but we have less time. We have wide screen tvs but narrower minds.
No, we did get 4 wheel disk brakes but ALB was only for 88-89 B20a8. Never for regular A20a4 EXi
Altho there was option, very rare EXR edition sold in EU with Carb A18a and Digital Cluster.
this would me more correct.

Not quite right, I think the ALBs were an option for any accord. I'm pretty sure I've seen them on an EX (carbed A20).

LHD models can be seen all over the world, although in alot of countries the RHD models were WAY more prevalent. I believe most of the RHD models were fixed headlights too, but i could be wrong.
Sort of. With one minor correction...
The Hatch was made in US and Japan. There is a way to determine the country of mfg based on the vin and the gauge cluster (from what I remember, US had fuel/temp needles pointing in, while Jap had fuel/temp needles pointing out [or may be the other way around])
Charlie--> Partially correct. Yes, hatch only came in DX and LX-i.
From what I've seen, the SE-i Coupe is more rare than the SE-i sedan. The SE-i sedan only came in two colors: Black and a brownish/bronze. SE-i Coupe only came in two colors: brownish/bronze and a deep blue/green. (Not the factory color names.)
Hatch and sedan were made all 4 years (86-89), but the Coupe was only made in 88-89. Sedan and Hatch had unpainted bumpers with the DX model, while LX and LX-i had painted bumpers. HOWEVER, Coupes were only made in 88-89, and were only available in DX or LX-i trim, and ALL had painted bumpers.
That's all I got.

funny how the hatch was made in japan but it was never sold there. oh and the se-i came in grey too
