Plus the Clubman was even more popular than they had hoped it would be.

Not true, I have owned three Toyota pickups for the past thirty years, and I had to bring my 2004 in for a recall in 05, the dealer gave me a courtesy car and that Corolla was a piece of gaaarbage.

Saw a Civic in Vancouver with leather and a bunch of options sold under the Acura badge... wouldn't this sell well in the States?

Well, you CAN buy a Civic EX-L right now, if you like. Has almost everything the EL in Canada has, except auto climate control.

We used to have one in the states; it was called, "Integra."

He's talking about a 1.6EL (used to be anyway). It really looks just like a spiffed up Civic.

It is now the CSX, which was preceded by the 1.6EL and 1.7EL. United States Civic clones, for those who didn't know or couldn't tell.

I know it's just a quickie badge-engineering job, like massaging a Vega into an Astre or a Cobalt into a G5, but those Acura Civics are actually handsome little beasts, IMO.

A friend of mine from Seattle wanted to buy one of those several years ago, and he went to Vancouver to see about it. The salesman told him Honda of Canada would not allow the cars to be sold out of the country (?!). So, he gave up on that idea, being too lazy to have someone else handle the sale and then move it down, or buy a used one. I have seen a couple of the earlier versions of that car around Seattle, so over time they have trickled down.
