Probably because production capacity is allocated to the US, UK and Australia first to avoid the fiasco that happened with the Civic.Quote:

Actually, I was going to add some conspiracy theory about them sorting out the bugs on the Euro; using the rest of the world as guinea pigs before selling a "perfect" bug-free version in Japan.Quote:

Qantas staff quickly took back the meals and then, after a brief period, distributed new meals to the Japanese passengers. Not long after, us Aussies got our meals; the hot portion of which exhibited signs of having had its foil cover tampered with.
Is it possible Honda Japan is ironing out the Euro bugs elsewhere first? Yes it is.
Did I eat the meal? Well, I was hungry (lol).
Don't know. I might have to get out the calipers.Quote:

Disagree. The reason why there is an FD and FN civic is because the FD is designed in Japan and built around the world. The FN is designed and built in the UK because of the UK demand for a medium hatch. If the current CU2 is built in Japan, then the JDM Accord will be the same chassis.Quote:

CL9 is worth a whole heap less now that CU2 is out. This should be noted when buying a runout CL9!
I had the same experience when trading a 2007 Corolla. It wasn't the latest model, so got less for it.
i've only seen 2 of these sarkers around cabra area and am abit shocked it not being bought up like what i've seen with the accord.
fark i wish it weighed 1200kg.
We all do mate, we all do....Quote:
