Default SiR's everywhere else but here?

I heard that the Si's in Canada and Japan, are known as the SiR, not just Si like here in the US.

Is this true? Where else are they the SiR? How come there not SiR's here? Do all the SiR's have the JDM engine?

are you sure canadian sir came with a stock b16a?...i though canada got the same models they were just named different...and it is true that the crx si is called crx sir up north but i'm pretty sure it uses the same d16a6...no reason why honda would give canada a lhd crx b16a and not give its larger north american market the same thing

In Canada the Civic Si (as it is known in the US) is called the Civic Si-R, but it's the same exact car, not anything better. Civic EXs (as they are known in the US) are called Civic Si in Canada.

However cars like the 4th Gen JDM Si-R were much better than anything the US ever got, but that is just Japan and possibly Europe and around Australia.
