Default What car do I drive?

I would just like to ask you guys, wheather I drive a DX, EX or whatever, 'coz here in South Africa, the Civic Sedan was named Ballade. You had the following models:

150i Encore (we called it "bare bones": no a/c no p/s no nothing!)
150i Luxline (a/c and p/s)
160i Spreeline (a/c and p/s)
160i Luxline (a/c, p/s, e/windows and mirrors but no abs and airbag)
160i VTec (Flagship, a/c, p/s, e/windows and mirrors, abs and airbag)
180i Luxline (EXCULSIVE to SA, a/c, p/s, e/windows and mirrors, abs and airbag)

You see, until 2000 all Hondas in SA were soldand servicedby Mercedes Benz, hence the name change.

Now, I have a 1999 160i Luxline, it has a d16y 16valve motor. Am I correct in saying that overthere you had a d16y 8valve?

LXI believe. It has electric stuff and tach so it looks like an Lx. And I am not so sure if this matters but the handles are painted just like the us lx's, and holy crap were you going fast. Isnt that like 125? MPH

Dude, that's like, the coolest civic sedan ever! It's got the 99-00 front end but the 96-98 rear end... plus the JDM style mirrors and turn signals. Why the hell does the US always get the crap models...?
