Default What the "A" stands for in A-Spec

Ass is my guess. Anyone who'd pay ~5K (plus dealer mandated installation) for what mostly amounts to overpriced glam bits is deserves a capital A on their car. Will Honda be the very last manufacturer to realize that there is actually a market for products that seriously up the performance of their cars?

It just means we aren't getting the RSX-Type R. It's as close as a Type-R our market can get. The A-spec includes: performance tires, suspension upgrades, interior trim kit, OEM body kit and a big spoiler. All they're missing is the engine upgrade.

So no Type-R for the US market since the R goes for about the same price as a RSX + A-spec. 23k+5K?
