1.7 EL: A TOUCH OF ELEGANCE

The Acura EL made an exclusive debut on the Canadian market in 1996 and was an instant hit in Quebec. Acura?s base model accounts for over 45% of the total sales of that Honda owned division. One can?t look at the EL without keeping his mind off the Honda Civic. As a matter of fact, both cars share about 80% of the components: platform, suspension and mechanics. Such a move is simply based on the fact that production costs have to be minimized on grounds that Canada is considered as a small market place. The grill was thus reviewed in order to give the car that Acura type triangular nose and the rear lamp cluster was modified, and that was it.
