They call it Acura cause Americans want a nicer version of everything. There is no Acura in Japan. We share the same models, (they have a few more then us) but here the "more luxurious" are a different brand. There is not lexus or infiniti in Japan either, if im not mistaken.

 

well i emailed the dealer a few days ago and got a reply saying the car was sold the day they put it on the lot.

got another email yesterday saying the car is back in available.

may go look at it on friday.

so it is worth trading my 00 civic in for this 97 integra gs-r?

seem like worth about the same.

 

Yep i would choose gsr over civic.

 

Do it.
