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

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

I have seen pics of the navi system and it does look pretty cool. Large screen that controls everything in the car (touch screen).
