Default is this JDM???ANSWER PLS!!

ok, i was drivin down the 405 in long beach, ca, it was about 12 noon and way in front of me i see something ive never seen before... the body of this sedan resembled a 96-00 civic sedan, but the tailights had the shape of the newer accord sedan..and by now im starin at this thing like WTF!!!!???? the taillights were shaped like the accords' but it wasnt as wide... now i come up on its side and see that it has an acura sign and on its right side of the trunk it says 1.6EL... WTF is that!?? i pass it up and the headlights were incomparable to anything ive seen, it sorta looks like the headlights from the older mitsu galants.. but i may be wrong... does anyone know WTF this is!!!!!????????????????

your on crack, it is a canadian model, it's an ACURA 1.6 EL, it is basically the same car as a ek sedan. jus the front is different, and rear is differet ( the trunk lights and the rear bumper but if u look closely the outside rear lights are the same)
