Because USDM market basiclly is scared that they will be over run with quality import cars and the domestic dealers won't be able to sell dittly if the cars came like the came orignaly that is why

Re: why did we get screwed?
It has nothing to do with Honda Japan and everything to do with Honda US. We had the same issue. We got no Si or SiR Civic because the Si ZC powered CRX and ZC powered Integra filled that niche. It's the bean counters that determine the market, not the enthusiasts :?

More then anything it's due to US insurance companies. Automakers know that high rates will be placed, on those models killing sells. If they try to make anything too fast. Anymore, it only has to "look" fast to satisfy the idoits now days, anyway.....
