(mods please delete me if i should post like this?)
Car: 1989-93

The first Honda car with the name Ascot was announced in September 1989. This was identical to the new Honda Accord announced at the same time, save the front and rear ends. It had been created so that Honda can push the car in two different dealership channels.

Car: 1993-97

Honda Ascot(1995) manufactured for japanese market

The second Honda Ascot was introduced in October 1993. It also has a sister car, the Honda Rafaga, for different retail channels. Unlike the first Ascot, however, this car was not based on the Accord. Instead, it features a 5-cylinder engine, longitudinally laid out in the engine bay, with the gearbox slotted underneath it. This layout is the same as the Acura Vigor and Acura Legend at the time. The Ascot is shorter and narrower than the Vigor, and features as its selling point a taller roofline than most Honda sedans. 2.0- and 2.5-liter engines were available.

The Ascot and Rafaga were discontinued in late 1997 as a new Honda Accord and its sister, the Accord Torneo, came on board. These were a few inches shorter and narrower than the US-bound Accord.
