What's an EL?

I did a search for EL and all I got was every word that contains "el" (bELts, wheELs, windshiELd). There's a ton of those, so I'm sorry if there was a post buried in there containing this topic already.

So what is this EL? And how about VTi? European Civics or something? I've seen DX, LX, EX, HX,and GX (and CX and VX on older models) but not those other two.

There's also EL as in EL guages. It stants for ElectroLuminescent. It's a kind of plastic (sort of) that glows (thus the luminescent part) when electricity (thus the electro part) is put through it.

Canada does not get the 4-door EX, so they decided to spruce up the Civic sedan and slap an Acura logo on it. We're the only ones in the world to have it. Comes with 4 wheel discs, heated leather, same VTEC engine as EX, and some other stuff that supposedly spices up the interior.

plus slightly fewer aftermarket parts... *sigh*[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG], even though most parts that fits EX sedan will do, but there's just things that doesn't really fits
