Thanks for the link - appreciated. It makes sense, given the central fuel tank location and smaller size of the car. I had understood that the Civic was the first US car getting ACE, and it would be carried forward to the other models at their redesign phases.

I had assumed that because the US is HMC's biggest market, that the technology would be introduced here, first, and that the Civic was the first car with it. Good to see that even the 'littlest' Honda has all of their advanced safety features from the outset.
