Honda in general recognizes three specific markets:

LOL @ paying anything more than $25,000 for this car. Damn I'm glad I live in America (yet I wasn't born here). If I remember right, a Nissan Murano was upwards of $60,000 when I went to the Ukraine. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.

Certain Euro cars, France I know at least, had the fog light in the rear bumper. It was later moved into the reverse light assembly I believe.

i would love to see a picuture of a factory navi system in a s2000. The space is really small and most factory honda navi systems those years require twice the space of a single radio.

The Navi is actually located above the A/C vents in the middle

"Canadian cars have a unique "air box baffle" that prevents snow from getting into the intake" Can someone explain it to me? The frenchie isn't getting this...

Also, pretty sure my car doesn't have a block heater
