it's a car made by honda from 93-97.. i think..?

It's another variation of the Accord line

This is another accord sedan variation along with the Inspires and Ascots etc. The chassis code is CE4,5. Notice the funny pattern? CB,CC,CD, CE, CF....

I'm not sure on the engine but they look something in between an Ascot and Inspire....if that makes any sense. In my personal opinion I think it's a more refined, agressive, and sexy looking Accord Ascot.

It has a ascot or vigor style wide grille. The tails remind me something like the pre 90 toyota tercels, while the headlights look like a heavy set blackhoused Torneo Euro-R pieces. The interior is definately accord territory and I wouldn't be surprised if most of these parts bolt onto newer accords.

Lemme try to dig up some pics later....

No No! it's sexy!!

Not really, I'd rock that car for JDM flavor. If you would compare this to a Ascot or Accord Inspire, this car got more of the good genes in the Accord family. The Ascot is the fattest looking in the Accord line with it's wide grille, fugly headlamps etc. The Accord Inspire....i don't really like the turn/fog light into one combo. It looks too wide for the car. The Rafaga in my opinion looks like a smaller sized Accord Torneo. I'd do it in the tailpipe!

Looking at it more, the rounded body shape minus the headlights and tailights remind me of the Eurpean Accord 2.3 SR with the prelude looking headlamps and the civic style tails. The cockpit especially the climate control, looks almost like a carbon copy of this European Accord. Who knows maybe this is Japans answer to The Accord 2.3 SR much like the Euro-R is the answer to Europes Accord R.

Lemme find some Torneo pics.

Rafaga vs Torneo

The front concept is almost the same....

[uncle_el]

had never heard of that before.

as you said, sort of inspire like. though, in the small pic, the front end looks a bit like a bmw 3 series (e36).

[cokinut]

the side looks like a '96 honda civic 4 dr. front looks like the older acura RL's.

[olivrooom]

If you look closely, that car has the body lines of an Acura RL. Some kind of weird variation of it. Just different lights all around and grille.

[deckeda]

That Rafaga looks pretty nice, and more modern that our CB7s. Front clip is like a cross between early- '90's 3-series and 2nd-gen Legend. Interior certainly looks Legend-like.

Where can I find more pictures of all of these non-U.S. Hondas?

[SSMAccord]

It looks good, kinda like EK Civic meets 96' up RL. I really like the
interior, minus the faux wood trim and the weird fabric on the
doors.

[MRX]

The Torneo is pretty hot but the Rafaga thing looks more like a BMW or Cadillac to me...any specs on whats under the hoods?

[br0nx finest]

god damn, japan gets the hottest fucking hondas.
