Default who came first....cvcc or civic?

as we all know CVCC stands for "Controlled Vortex Combustion Chamber," Honda's technique to eliminate the need for a catalytic converter in earlier civics.

but who came first?

the engine technique, or the car.

Shut up fuji :db: I read Soichiro Honda's bio

I'm going to say 1985 in Japan.

Edit: But I know it as 1986 in the US. I think.

1985

SI means "sport injected" -- what was the primary reason it was given this label.

the turn signals appeared "added on" and an "afterthough" so on the second gen they were integrated into the car.
