Hmmm, I could have swore they were doing just fine looking @ their market share trends.

They're all about selling volume, not about giving every prospective buyer what they want.

I think its cause in Japan they actually drive their cars. Over here, they are used for HIN, garage queens, or they get stolen .

maybe it's a marketing stretegy to get each country to buy the products they aren't getting with their cars.

we buy Type-r products because we dont get them.

supposedly they buy our "MUGEN" products because they dont get them.

it's all business, or maybe like most have said, a moronic decision!!
