All I can say is that it's too bad our American friends don't get the CSX. While
the market south of the 49th hasn't shown the same eagerness to buy into compact luxury models as we do here at home, they're slowly warming up to the idea every time fuel prices rise or their leader promotes lowering dependence on fossil fuels. Yes, it's quite possible that the CSX won't be exclusive to Canada forever. It is now, however, so let's enjoy the fact that the tables are turned, and that we have access to a car which can't be bought in the U.S. And now, compared to years prior, it's a car that truly deserves the Acura label.
