Canadian Lude Differences - Honda Prelude Forum

I have a cdm lude and was wondering what the differences are (besides heated seats and side mirrors) between it and a usdm model.

Don't the daytime running lights stay on all the time in the Canuck Model? The only other thing I can think of is Kph gauge.

yeah the drl light is always on but I swapped the usdm speedo into mine

I also have a Canadian made Lude, the yank ones don't have heated seats and mirrors? I thought other than being metric they are identical. Learn something every day

something about the 01's all have the SH rims. or something to do with the rim selection on the 01 canadian model.

you also have a different leather option because of the heated seats. my canadian seats have the perforated leather. and the seats make your door panels different, as you have the switch in the space in the door.

i don't think we really found much else when comparing the 2 last i was in canadia.

They are pretty much designed for the chilly canadian winters but I also heard they have different floor mats and small stuff like that

That switch in the door is just for the heated seats. And the little heated mirrors button on the door by the mirror adjustment switch.

The CDM motors are red tops with 245hp and 200tq stock as well.....9kredline...lol

I can vouch for this

My Lude has 245 Hp?? See this is why I really dislike not having a damn owner's manual!!
Explains why I'm getting less than 19MPG in the city though... I thought the red top was something the previous owner had custom installed.

Damn I thought the canadian fifth gens came in 4ws. I was hoping on getting a fifth gen left side driver 4ws.....dammit.

Speed Stick · 10-28-2008, 11:06 PM

Yeah I think only a europe fifth gen had the 4ws. Not sure though, I just know CDN ludes don't.

RYNO777 · 10-29-2008, 01:24 AM

ya i still haven't see a 4 ws lude on the street

The only 4WS fifth gen Preludes were the BB8 chassis that was pretty much exclusive to Europe. The only ones outside are the rare-as-rocking-horse-crap JDM SiR Spec S 4WS, which is rare even by obscure JDM standards.
