mentally block out the lights

and concentrate mainly on the hood and shape of the car...not to mention the windshield...i think that you will agree it is probably a civic

My bad.....theres no way that is a maxima.....I guess I didn't look closely. But, I don't think it's a civic either. It looks more like an accord or a Legend.

Looks too small to be an accord or legend

I think it's a civic.

it looks nice. i thought it was an accord at first, but if you see that side shot of the rear window on the rear door, that's a civic.

Yeah it does look like an Acura EL (aka Civic).

I forgot who posted earlier on this thread that it looks ugly, but I think it looks pretty good. Very distinctive from your run of the mill Civic, but without a nasty ten foot wing or front scraping body kit.

I've seen on Acura EL in my life, and it was on the Golden Gate Bridge. The back looks like a Civic, but the front is sort of like a rounded out Accord.

Yeah, the EL looks a bit better

More upscale than the Civic, but it is an Acura after all. I like the smaller headlights much better than the huge ones on the Civic. My mom thinks they look like those big-eyed Anime girls.hehe

But don't go to Canada to pick up an SI...

Their Civic SI is our EX, so it's only got a 127hp SOHC I4, instead of the 160hp DOHC I4 we get here.

it's a Canadian Civic or a US Civic w/ a Canadian front clip. We all asked the same thing at our Houston Import show. This guy had one same color. The guy said he spent 10 G's to get it done!!!! I'd do the Skyline conversion before that. BUt it does look different. the one we saw was pretty clean.

Nicest looking Acura El ive evr seen..

You see them quite a bit here in Canada...I test drove one in 98(I think) when they came out. Basicly they're a nicer civic...pretty much the same interior layout with orange dash/stereo lights and optional leather.
I'm pretty sure those aren't the stock headlights on it tho.
