Tell me about it I lived in Okinawa for two years, what an experience

That is too cool though, it looks all James Bond'ish.

that IS cool, but cmon, it prolly costs like $1000 or more from the dealer. You can buy a huge variety of those on ebay for like $100, heres just one that I found

I know, I saw those too! Thats some tight SH**! To me it seems like all of our high end model Hondas are on par with low end models in Japan! That sucks

I like those headlights too

Tell me about it. I thought our Civic was some nice sh**, now I just feel stupid! American consumer technology seems to be way behind the Japanese. I even read somewhere that they already have portable satellite tv, we just have satellite radio!

Same with VW

Really want to scare yourself?

Go look at vw.de and check out what a German can walk into the dealership and buy. My personal favorite: a four-door, GTI trim-level (includes ALL performance parts), 4WD, TDI with 170 hp, 250 lb-feet that still gets 35 mpg in the city.

Meanwhile, we can still get our SUVs........mmmmm, tastes good, doesn't it.
