Indeed there is no clear logic in the current listing anyway
I'll update them, we can always change manually later if needed, and with the addition of a "made for" flag is there is a name specific to a country.

For one they're definitely all "Sport". Now it's very hard to find period written material by BMW. In any case it's impossible to know with these cars which market they come from originally. I have found 2 official period files and it's Sport-Kabriolett in both. I believe they were just named by following up on what's already there and after searching modern info where today of course they're referred to as Cabriolet's. There's no real reasoning on how they're split...

Done



We could indeed. But wasn't "Cabriolet" used outside Germany by any chance?

antp can you please change the name for the JDM Crosstrek? They are currently listed as Impreza Sport but per goo-net the name is Impreza Sports with an S.

I think 327 Cabriolet's and 327 Sport-Kabriolett's should be merged as Sport-Kabriolett's. Seems like it's the same thing, they were all 327 "Sport" Coupe's or Kabriolett's no matter what their spec. Also in the period material Kabriolett is used.. see https://ibb.co/JrK770f

Between 1950 and 1990 it was quite common to omit accents on uppercase, as I said. Mostly because typewriters, and making composition cheaper for printed stuff.
If you check lowercase occurrences, the accent appears (for the FR Legend on page 6 and for the NL S800 at the bottom of the last page)

Ah, I forgot there's also EU-Spec for this gen.....



Looks like Honda use Coupe for most of the models, not just NA-Spec

However, there are always exceptions, I only found Spain use Coupé as model name

Is it the same code for all markets? As we had differences for other Honda models.
Isn't it better to just use [EM]?

About Coupe/Coupé, one should check US brochures to see if they included the accent or not.
Often it is uppercase which tends to eliminate accents, but here for example they did not put an accent: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/fnQAAOSwV0RXq1g2/s-l1600.jpg

Chassis code for 2001-05 Civic Coupe is [EM2], according to dhill's comment
