Check this EK Sedan with Orthia front end, Never seen this before.
Hey, I was looking for a Civic on an ad site in Ireland and I came across this 96 EK Sedan with what looks like a Honda Orthia front end.
I've never seen an EK sedan like this before, The seller says its an Import from Japan, I'm just wondering, have you guys seen a EK sedan with that front end before? I can't really find any info on it.
Update: It's actually a Honda Integra SJ EK3.
Here is some info about it:
The Japanese: Integra SJ (standing for "Sedan Joyful") was a rebadged Civic Ferio, (a Honda Primo product) with modified headlamps and grille similar to the Orthia's and slightly larger rear lights. The Integra SJ was sold in Japan at Honda Verno dealerships. It originated from the Honda Domani another derivitave of this vehicle sold at Honda Clio locations. It was made from 1996 to 2001, and used the 1493 cc D15B engine. Honda's press material of the time indicated that the SJ was intended to provide a "formal sedan" for the Integra range; another reason may have been to sell Ferios using a more sporting model name at Honda Verno dealerships in Japan, as was the case with the Nissan Laurel Spirit. In Thailand, the Integra SJ was sold as the Isuzu Vertex, last passenger car ever for that market. (This followed Isuzu's practice of selling Honda models as Isuzus which started with the Gemini; while Honda also selling Isuzu's sport utility vehicles in Japan and North America, and pickup truck in Thailand.)
and some pics:
