No Japanese coupe?!

[Daheavyking]

All coupes were made in the US and sent over seas.

New Zealand(and Australia???) didnt have Accord coupes either.

Specifically, all coupes and wagons were built in Marysville, Ohio. AFAIK Ther still is not a Honda manufacturing plant in Michigan. IIRC, Silver HOA badges came on certain Civics, Gold came on Accord coupes and wagons.

Sedans were made both here and Japan and shipped both ways. In Japan, the coupe is a CB6. Stay off hatertech, you'll learn more and be happier.

There's parts suppliers in Michigan and Indiana though.

I used to work at Honda Alliston and some of their supplier plants in Ontario. I remember seeing packages with parts from both places that we used during assembly in our Ontario plants.

Correct.

That's a shame. You guys should import them from Japan. Or do you already?

My sedan was made in Japan and I notice slight quality differences between it, and my old coupe which was an Ohio-built model.

A friend was on it and said he liked it.

he must have a civic or integra

The cars never came to our market in the first place, because its not what the consumer wanted.

Personally I don't really care for coupes anyway, So I have no need to import them.

I think the coupes look sportier (I'd prefer to get my CTS-V in coupe form, but that's only in the newest generation... the one I really don't want to afford!)

Coupes seem to be most popular in the US. If you notice, many of the most popular sporty cars worldwide are sedans... STi, Evo, M3, M5, S4, S6, etc...
In the US, we'll slap 2 doors on a boring car and sell it as a "sporty" model.





H-T is definitely a rough place. There ARE people that know their stuff, but they usually keep to their own tight circles. I don't blame them... because the lazy, misinformed idiots make things much less fun! The majority of the posters on H-T are stupid kids. The site is a valuable resource if you take the time to search the archives... chances are, whatever you want to know has been covered extensively at some point on there. It's also great for following the very experienced tuners when they have a project going on. It's not hard to spot one of the really knowledgeable tuners... just look for a crazy build thread with professional-looking photos and intelligent wording... then look for dialogue between the builder and other known, experienced members... and laugh as the nut-riding simpletons get ignored.

True, But to me they still have that "Heavier" look to them as well.

They are only cool for the "Wow" factor over here.
And the CB7T crowd here is so small, that you would be LUCKY to get one person saying wow every 2 years

True.

How many New Zealand guys are there? I know I saw one noob from there... not even sure if he's still posting.

And only a couple of them are over 30 posts


Such is life, in a small country.
