Hmmm, this Civic-generation was sold on our market, but I cannot remember, that I've ever seen this Sedan-back. |

It's a used import from Japan - right hand drive and with the number plate sitting awkwardly on the bumper. -- Last edit: 2010-09-19 23:58:57 |

My problem is, that I cannot remember, that I've ever seen this Sedan-version here. The others for sure, the Space Wagon-version I've even driven by myself. |

I was referring to rjluna's comment as he seemed confused. @ ingo you may know these sedan versions as Honda Ballade, (I believe that is what they were called in EU) -- Last edit: 2010-09-20 00:03:26 |

No, the name Ballade ws not used in Germany. Maybe I should think about Gag's comment, that this is a Japan-version here. The Europe-version had the plate between the back lamps, so it looks different. Otherwise in Germany smaller Sedan's were always very unpopular (except 1990+ in the former DDR). Here the Hatchback-versions (of all kind of small and semi-small cars of every brand) were always preferred. See the actual offers of 1980-1990 Civic's: Link to "suchen.mobile.de" Oops, I have to correct myself: I mixed up Honda and Mitsubishi.  I drove once the "Civic Shuttle". |

Ballade was in Japan indeed. I do not remember having ever seen the sedan version in Belgium, just the hatchback, so I guess it was not sold in EU. |

the sad thing is that I knew Ballade was Japan (well atleast I knew that the CR-X was Ballade in Japan) but wiki said the sedan was sold in Europe as the Ballade and once again I listened when I shouldn't have  |

Maybe southern (Spain) or western europe then? As there they usually like sedans, hence the Renault Clio sedan which did not exist in France/Belgium/Germany |

Did the Rover 213 [SD3] tie-up mean Honda were not allowed to sell this Civic in Europe? |

No, there was a UK-built version of the Ballade, which was presumably exported to other European markets: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rover_200#Mark_I_.281984-1989.29 |

....only if produced in LHD. We've only 2 Honda Ballades on the whole site - one of which in a HK film is RHD /vehicle_104020-Honda-Ballade-1984.html - could this have been made in UK? |

Seems the Rover was exported to France at least: "MY FIRST ROVER BACK IN FRANCE WAS A 213 SE AUTO, 1986, WITH THE "SMALL" BOOT(LID) IT WAS A VERY GOOD CAR, ALTHOUGH QUITE SMALL INSIDE COMPARED TO THE MAESTRO I GOT LOANED DURING SERVICING FROM GARAGE DU LION FORT IN ORLEANS BUT THAT 1.3/A(+?) ENGINE AND CHEAP INTERIOR WERE A LET DOWN. AS FOR THE 2ND ONE, IT WAS THE 216 EFI VDP SAME PRICE AS A BMW316, BUT I DIDN'T HAVE TO FORK OUT EXTRA FOR PAS, EL/WINDOWS, CENTRAL LOCKING AND THAT LEATHER & WOOD AMBIENCE. BACK THEN, ROVER, IN FRANCE WAS ON A PAR WITH VOLVO AND BMW IN THAT UP-MARKET NICHE... THEN THEY WERE STILL PUTING THEM IN THE SAME SHOWROOM AS THE M CARS FROM AUSTIN AND YES THEY WERE LOOKING MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THEIR PRICE TAG, AND MAYBE THEY COULD HAVE BEEN TRIUMPH AS WELL, ESPECIALLY THE EFI VERSIONS, LOTS OF GRUNT IN THEM, LIKE THE RANGE TOPPER DOLOMITE."
