I know that up here in Canada we had them, as I was driving one today. Baaaare bones hatchback, no pass side mirror, cheap vinyl seats (almost look like Si seats, really big side bolsters, not the same as a DX that's for sure). No console around the shifter, just a rubber boot. This one was a 5 speed. And 5th gear felt really highway friendly, sadly it didn't have a tach so I am just going by feel. I am trying to find out what transmission ratios it has, but all the charts I can find don't show '88-'91 CXs, so I am guessing it was named something else in the US, or that they weren't available? Did these cars have HF transmissions in them or something weird like that?
