Clean Titled SI's and R's are getting harder to find now-a-days.

Nope, not SSBP. It's rare, but not that rare. I had to search for a bit to find the one I was talking about...the color is called Dark Violet Pearl. Like SSBP, it was only offered for one model year, but the color itself was much less popular.

Well, the EV Plus is even rarer than that Civic Jordan. Only 300 or so EV Plus models were produced and released. The EV Plus was taken out of production in 1999 in order for Honda to work on its hybrid vehicles such as the Honda Insight. The EV Plus was made to keep up with GM EV1.

Wow; I didn't know they are that rare. There are two that I know of in the OKC area. One is actually up for sale on the local forum.

Check this out.

Total USDM ITR Production by Year
(numbers in parens are the previously accepted totals)
1997 320 (318) 320 CW (100%)
1998 1002 (1023) 1002 CW (100%)
2000 1355 (1347) 573 FBP (42%) 782 PY (58%)
2001 1173 (1157) 523 NBP (45%) 650 PY (55%)
I guess they don't seem that rare because they're special. The 2000 DVP GSR is just as rare, but there are random people out there using them as daily drivers or whatever (I know someone who DD's theirs). ITR's are a little different, especially 97's...

Least common '96-'00 Civic in the US would have to be the EN1, '98-'00 Civic GX sedan. Natural gas car that wasn't available to the public. They came in silver, while and light blue. The huge tank is in the trunk. The EN1 wasn't available outside of the US.

What is your definition of "non-classic"?

How about Pizzicato (Midori) Green Pearl Todays? I haven't managed to find one yet, but they're supposed to exist.

Cashmere Silver Metallic YR-505M

I almost bought one of these instead of my Civic. It was an Si. $5 difference between the cars. The Prelude also had a Honda optional car phone in it.

In the US it's 2000 CX and DX hatches only.

Midori would be '96 CX/DX hatch and Dark Amethyst Pearl would be '97-'99 CX/DX. The black ones would be '98-'00 DXes only though.

What about Island Coral Civic coupes ('96 HX, '96-'97 DX) and sedans ('96-'97 LX)? Or Vintage Plum ('00 EX/LX sedan) or Titanium Metallic ('00 DX/DX-V/EX/LX sedans).

Five doors aren't rare. They're just not available in the US.

I don't know how the production might have been though.

US Integras had it too, but I think they called it a different name here.

I believe that's the same color as the Civic Vi-RS. Royal Grape Pearl. It has another name too, but I forget it offhand.

I think the FCX clarity will be on the list of rare cars.
considering its only available on a $600/month lease for 3 years and only available in Southern California and in one color
