yea.. they stuff ambers in every single japan car that comes down here... they lower bhp because of emissions... they just destroy beautiful cars in general... (i.e. the last gen of integras had those nice type r lights on all models, the US changes them to these round horrid lights, the EVO looked damn nice in japan, they change the whole front bumper)... i dont get it.

i guess some US designer is trying to keep his job by destroying such great cars...

They keep the 9k redline because they keep the 2.0 motor in addition to the 2.2 that we're getting...

I can't really argue this topic, because it's like arguing that a "real" Porsche is the old air-cooled ones even though the newer water-cooled motors are significantly better performers.

I prefer air-cooled Porsche's...
