He probably heard from someone that the Japanese-built ones are better than the American-built ones... because we all know, if it was assembled by Germans, it HAS to be superior .

that was just...stupid.

Well I also threw in the fact there there were also British built CB's,so there must also be differences between Japanese and North American ones.

Does anyone one what the VINs start with on the UK built ones?

Besides, the original question is stupid and vague, this entire thread is pointless, so why's everyone getting their crotchless panties in a bunch?

One of the biggest differences between the Japanese and American built Accords is the time zone they were built in. My SE sedan was actually built in the future and shipped back in time across the ocean.

He didn't ask about UK-built models... and there are none of those in West Virginia anyway. The UK-built models are sold in the UK.


I'm getting my "crotchless panties" in a bunch because every day I put up with a dozen threads where people spew worthless off-topic information because they are too damn lazy to actually read the thread before they post. It gets old. Additionally, it adds to the spread of incorrect information, because many people are either too new to these cars, or too stupid, to tell the difference. With a thread like this, I bet at least one person is going to read the differences between the USDM and actual JDM models, and start asking why their "JDM" (with the JHM vin) car doesn't have all those cool JDM features.

We can legally import UK built ones in Canada, and although I would speculate there are none in Canada, there is the possibility there could be one, somewhere within the country. Heck, I see right hand drive DA Integras here all the time.

This whole thread fails because the OP does not elaborate on such differences they'd like to see expressed.

It's so vague that I can literally say Japanese ones are built by people that speak JDM and US built ones are made by Cooter and Roscoe. That's a valid difference between the 2 cars.

Nowhere does he ask "what sort of production differences are between the 2 cars? Emblems? Options? Parts suppliers? Part Numbers? Trim codes?"

I'm actually trying to provide useful information to this discussion. Maybe I'm just coming across wrong.

[deevergote]

Look at it from my perspective... The OP is obviously a TOTAL beginner, or a bit of a dim bulb. Providing him with an information overload is only going to confuse him.

Post #1, he asks about the CBs that were made in Japan vs the ones that were made in the US. Post #2 is the first misunderstanding of that. Post #3, the OP was at least smart enough to specify that he wasn't asking about the JDM models, just the cars that were built in Japan.

Remember, people in the US tend to forget the rest of the world exists. He's asking about 1HG and JHM... because to us, those are the ONLY ones that exist (though we could legally import a CB that was built anywhere in the world as well, because we have a "reasonable equivalent"... I could import a 2010 JDM Accord if I wanted, as long as I could prove that it was substantially similar to the model in the US.)

[crazymikey]

Point understood.

I wonder if acura integra fourms get this question daily, all of their cars are made in japan.
