2011 Acura CSX Ride Report
Car: 2011 Acura CSX Technology
Exterior Color: Taffeta White
Interior Color: Black Leather
Options: XM, Built in NAV
Mileage out: 16255KM
Mileage In: 16301KM
Total mileage: 46 KM
Rental Period: 7/13/12-7/14/12
Tags from: British Columbia
Rented from: Kelowna Airport (YLW)
Class: Premium (PCAR)
Pros:
-Nav was active
-Comfortable car
-Something different on the lot
-Looks a lot nicer than a Civic
-It's basically a Civic EX-L
Cons:
-It's basically a $31,000 Civic EX-L
-It looks like, drives like, smellls like and sounds like a Civic
-Why don't we get Acuras?
Summary:
Well this looks like a one time shot again. The back of the car still even had the dealer sticker (loaner?). Everything about this car is just a Civic. Forget the Acura switchblade key, you get a Civic key with an Acura logo. The dash is exactly the same, but with an Acura logo on the steering wheel.
I'll place a link to some pictures of a dealer car below.

The CSX is another Canada-specific car. With an extra $1 a gallon in gas taxes, Canadians show a fondness for small cars that is not matched by most Americans.

Acura will be introducing the ILX (replacement for the CSX) in both the US and Canada markets as a 2013 model. Slowly but surely Americans are getting there, or at least Acura thinks we will .
