By around 1996 even the official export yet US spec but RHD Honda Accord started to show up.

Honda's Japanese website had a wealth of info of their cars past and present back in the mid 90's when I used to drool over them on my 486 and 14" SVGA monitor, including most if not all of their past catalogs and press photos.
I think Tcoat's point was that Acura was not a "Japanese Domestic Market" brand and no Acuras were sold inside Japan. Acura was only for markets other than Japan.
