Sliding into Canada's DMs

The Canadian Domestic Market Acura EL sedan (fancified 7th gen Civic sedan) is a great example of what certain markets got that the U.S. didn’t, and one which I have an unnatural attraction toward.

The USDM Civic sedan of this generation is aesthetically turned down juuuuust a notch, but it’s enough that I feel it loses out completely in the desirability department.

It’s the little things that count, darnit, and between things like the Acura EL and the following Acura CSX which was demonstrably closer in styling to the FD Type R Civic than the US’s 8th gen FA5 sedan, I simply can’t help but want to slide all up in Canada’s DMs.
