Default Acura 1.7 EL?

I was at Niagra Falls, Canada this weekend and I saw a 4 door "civic" called the Acura 1.7 EL. The rear taillights looks like a shorter version of the 6Gen accord sedan. What other Honda cars are in canada that are named differently?

I only saw the rear of the car. There was another badge under the 1.7 EL badge, but i didn't get a good look at it.

What are the Civic SIs like in Canada?

It's not a Civic, it's an Acura EL. It looks basically like if the Accord and Civic had a baby it would be the EL. I saw one once, I liked it. They had B17s in them, a rare engine. Similar to the 92-93 GSR engine.

Candian Civic Si-Rs are the same thing as USDM Civic Sis. Candian Civic Si is the same as the USDM EX.

I guess they give Canada the better names to make them feel better about themselves.
