well about 300% of the time jdm always has better stuff than usdm.

which is why many ppl want to go jdm style or buy jdm parts. its kinda obvious.

jdm>usdm

all usdm is downgraded jdm stuf cuz of our stupid emissions regulations which i think is bulls***

More so.

In Japan, when you buy a Honda from your sales guy Mr. Nakamura, you will buy from him again. And again, and again. Your kids will buy from him. Your parents will buy from Nakamura again. Your Honda need to be the best it can be, both in build quality, content, and service. Mr. Nakamura would fail if you don't buy from him and Honda again. (I can say that's how it was 10+ years ago).

In the U.S. our sales guy Mr. McNeil is hitting on our wives, while we give him the finger because he is screwing us on the trade. They want us out as soon as possible before we notices somethng is wrong. We won't be back anyways, and we may buy a Toyota next time. So McNeil don't give a F*&*^% cause he may fired from Honda next month for not making sales quota.

Products got to fit the market.

Probably NOT a good idea to smart-talk a Moderator.

Do I need to explain? Or do your ridiculous claims quoted for a second time help you understand that nothing you said is supported by fact and is merely a "fanboi's" misguided opinion.

To me, it's ok, because when I post, I should be treated no different from any other members.

When I mod, I'll mod.

Those "stupid emissions regulations" exist for a reason. The United States consumes more energy than any other country in the world. Therefore we are a major contributor to global warming. These strict emissions regulations are a way to slow down the rate in which we destroy this planet.....which sadly will inevitably happen someday.
