well lets start a petition against ALL OF JAPAN. tell them that, maybe they havent gotten the idea that the nismo, sti, evo and all other japanese "elite sport" versions of their cars are already targeted at a specific audience as it is, so i see no logical reason at all that all the versions should be BETTER in japan than in the US. as you said, i myself as well would happily pay the premium for a premium product. they always reserve the cool versions of everything for themselves, like versions of the NSX, the STI spec A and C, the automatic NISMO, just to name a few that are well known. why? makes no sense. if they want a hennesey SS camaro they can ******* BUY ONE. so why cant i have an STI 400R or a spec C? americans cant afford it? not worthy?
hell even the 380rs 350z was available in a limited run of cars there, and was only 48k american dollars. im sure they will make an RS nismo 370 sooner or later available only to the japanese market. WHY, my gut tells me more americans would buy them than japanese. my fiance is japanese, and she says that most japanese try NOT to own a japanese car if they can help it. if they can afford it, they buy mostly european cars. even her family drives all BMW's.
