Quick Information About Honda Intergra SJ

The Integra SJ (short for “Sedan Joyful”) was a rebadged Civic Ferio (a Honda Primo product) with redesigned headlamps and grille similar to the Orthia’s and slightly wider tail lights akin to the Civic LEV sedan sold in Japan. In Japan, the Integra SJ was available at Honda Verno dealerships. It evolved from the Honda Domani, another variant of same vehicle marketed at Honda Clio dealerships. It was produced from 1996 to 2001 and was powered by a 1493 cc D15B engine. The SJ was intended to provide a “formal sedan” for the Integra line, according to Honda press material at the time; another purpose could have been to sell Ferios under a more sports model name at Honda Verno shops in Japan, as was the situation with the Nissan Laurel Spirit.

The Integra SJ was sold as the Isuzu Vertex in Thailand, making it the last Isuzu passenger car sold in that country. It continued Isuzu’s tradition of selling Honda models as Isuzus, which began with the Gemini; Honda also sold Isuzu sport utility vehicles in Japan and North America (some as Acuras in the latter market), as well as pickup trucks in Thailand.

CCC Information Services ranked the 1999 Integra the most stolen car in the United States in 2004, with the 1998 model year being the third-most stolen model for that year. According to LoJack, the Integra was the sixth most stolen car among vehicles connected with their car tracking service in 2014. (source:wiki)
