Honda Cars : 2008 Honda Civic Changes for Canada | 2013 New Honda Car Reviews 0

Well, well. In Canada we have had a leather Civic for a few years now, it's been badged an Acura and has either been called a 1.7EL or more currently a CSX (not avail. in the US). There was a pretty good price premium to 'bend that H into a A' (and I've always wondered if the people who bought these things knew that the Accord EX-L leather was pretty much the same price), and it looks like Honda is looking to take the Acura line a little more 'upscale'. So, gone is the Acura CSX for 2008, and in is the 2008 Honda Civic EX-L, sedan and coupe! Yes. We are going to get a leathered up Civic, probably with a few other minor adds.

We will also be getting the much anticipated Si Sedan this year (those of you in the US have had this for a year now) and we have two new basic models, one DX adding AC only and the DX-G adds cruise control and alloy wheels. It seems like all models will get the subtle lip spoiler as well.

Should be a good year for Honda, they've positioned themselves well to combat the LONG awaited Toyota Corolla. (2009 now?!?) Can't wait for that car to come out, looks like it should be a nice car as well.
