It's a Grand Am or Grand Prix with the Oldsmobile headlights + bumper + front fenders (either Alero or Intrigue) and who the gently caress knows what they did to the middle. The plastic cladding on the side is a dead giveaway, same with the taillights. Hell, they might have booger welded an entire Oldsmobile front clip on. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 08:20 on Sep 6, 2014 |

I'm curious what's holding it all together.

'96 Volvo V70. Complaint: "knocks on bumps and in turns" After this photo I found that the struts were completely collapsed. And here I'd thought all that grease came from the CV boots.

That paint color is amazing. And actually pretty similar to how my dad is about to dip his E90.

It would be more 90s if it had a "Fear This" sticker and blacked out chrome as well though.

Yeah, it's also seen as a CSX here until the recent generation of Acura lineup. It's a nicer Civic, basically.

Sudo Echo posted:Man I just looked this up and you're right, it was a Civic with different lights. Weird. Different lights, optional leather, optional automatic climate control, optional heated seats, etc. Basically the options you can get on an Accord, but scaled down into a Civic chassis. I've seen 2 or 3 in Texas before though all of them still had Canadian plates, IIRC.

Wasn't even aware that they didn't sell those stateside. They're probably the most common Acura to see around here that isn't an SUV. Fun fact: we don't get the single-cab Tacoma here and if you talk about the '90s Capri to one of us the conversation is invariably hilarious (we didn't get them here, but we did get both prior vehicles that used that name so people start picturing a FWD fox body) e: some texas redneck posted:Basically the options you can get on an Accord, but scaled down into a Civic chassis.

Yeah, I believe it's the only CDM-only Acura. That said, the trim levels for various Hondas/Acuras are different for Canada and the US. For example, at least in the 90s, a Canadian Civic Si was the same as a US Civic EX; the US Civic Si was sold as the Si-R in Canada (and Canada got many more Si-R's than the US did with Si's - the Si was a rare bird here, and not offered for most years until recently). I don't remember how the trim levels differed on other models; been too long since I owned Hondas.

Also, in the UK newer beetles have a factory sticker option with the stripes and the 53. Which is kinda terrible all on its own.
