The JDM FD2R has Brembos much like the AUDM STi and different styling. I think the only thing that would hold up the FD2R for our market would be RTA requirements about noise and emissions.

I think the car would have potential in the enthusiast market, but only if they replaced the FN2R with the FD2R. It'd be no different to the WRX/STi or GTI/R32 scenario. Both those cars have proven that there is a market for a higher end model. We all know the Civic is a much better built car than the WRX so why couldn't it work?
