awww I got wned:

 

nice jdm coupes

 

There were still 5th gen coupes in Japan, it doesn't matter that they were made in America (they were maing RHD's right under our noses?!), they were sold in Japan, by Honda, that makes them Japanese Domestic Market.

 

:werd: so both of us were right

in conclusion:

yes, there are JDM coupes that are sold and driven in Japan.

no, there was no production of 5th gen coupes in Japan

im getting this from what ive read, so is this correct?

 

yea....and the rhd ones were made in the UK not the US....so I guess we were both right on this one...they dont make them but I guess they drive them and sell them...so whatever...we all learned some new knowledge :thumbup:

 

If I may direct your attention to Hondas Japans website, http://www.honda.co.jp/HOT/ModelData...302/cp_sy.html

You will find the spec page for the 93-95 EJ1 coupe as it was availible in Japan. Now if I can direct your attention to the first line, and the last paragraph, you will see that it was indeed produced and exported from the United States, not the United Kingdom.

is that you john?

btw the guy is asking for info on ek coupes :fawk:

 

damn, tooo much scrolling.. shiet, now my finger hurts :happysad:

nice cars!!!!

 

why does it matter where it was made? to me "jdm" is something that was offered to those people in that market.. i think it is inconsequential where is was made... to say something is not the japanese version of a certain car because it was made in mexico (just an example) is silly... if it was sold at a dealer in that region then it is of that regions market... regardless of anything else..

i can understand the thought process that if it doesn't have something that makes it "cool" or "differant" then it is not "jdm" but that is just not the case

 

ctr coupe?
