    pretty much pointless topic.

    I would like honda bring full JDM spec Honda in the future. But I know its impossible.

    Japanese always keep the best for themselves everyone knows that.

    I don't think it's a matter of Japanese keeping the best for themselves, more a matter of Australia cost cutting to maximise profits.

    Point taken and it's very obvious how Honda has cut costs by deleting features in order for them to make more profit...the public isn't dumb and can see through that.
    Like no rear spoiler and foglight setup that was on the first model top of the range which is not on the VTI-S.

    Purely from a car point of view in design, there are a few things that could be done a lot better and this will be of no interest to Kongfu who thinks this is a waste of time topic.
    The tailgate stoplight is right in the field of view when looking out of the rear screen and it is very annoying and almost unsafe.
    The similar in design Mercedes A170 has it incorporated as a small strip of LED's in the metal work which is a much better idea.

    The internal dash lighting is a dog's breakfast.
    The part in front of the driver is a lovely soft orange but the centre part is all white including the floor shifter.
    This is at odds with the theme (including the under floor orange ambient lighting option) and Honda should look closely at the Mazda 3 SP which has it all the same.

    The moonroof suggestion option is a great one and add to that leather too.

    Not forgetting the lack of ESC which is one of the worst deletions.

    I hope your constructive and creative thinking would help Honda or help honda lovers in Australia get the best model in the future.

    Hopefully your reply can be brought the attention to Honda Australia Managing Director & CEO, Mr. Yasuhide Mizuno.
