1.7 Acura EL
Just one more retard question from me. OK... what is up that Acura... isn't it just a civic sedan or is that why it gets the Acura nameplate? I'm confused again
Acura is just a brand name for Honda. This brand only exists in North America because there is a target market for more "luxury cars". The Acura 1.7EL comes with some options that the Honda Civic doesn't.

sorry my question kinda sounded confusing... I know that Acura only exists in N.A. but it (Acura 1.7 EL) is only in Canada correct? So do yall have a Civic Sedan AND a Acura 1.7?

yeah they have both, the el comes with leather and other luxary options that civics dont come with. I think, im not sure, that there is no ex sedan in canada and the el is there instead of it.
yeah, I saw one in PA last week (with canadian tags). The body looks just like a civic sedan, except Acura emblems in gold, leather interior, different headlights and taillights. They look good! Acura Canada
Take a look at my member's page (link in signature) for a picture of an Acura EL.
It's basically the same as a U.S. market EX sedan. In Canada, we don't get the EX sedan.
Some of the features on the Acura include:
-Revised bumper/grille with Acura family resemblance, new headlights, new trunk/tail section
-127hp 1.7L SOHC VTEC engine like EX
-Acura 15" wheels
-Side air bags
-Four-wheel disc brakes + ABS
-Leather, heated seats, moonroof
-Security system
-More sound insulated than Civic

1.7 EL in canada is the same as EX sedan in US with a couple more goodies
DX and LX are the same for both
