Are you sure about the traction control? I've never heard that...

The TCS light flashes on my dashboard when I drop the clutch at 9K or when I do a crazy 90 degree corner ... Is that TCS ... ?

I found a web site that talks about the "type V" but it is in Japanese..... check out the other new options...blue convertible top, color schemes, equipment, etc.

Basic price difference in Japan is Y180,000 (excluding taxes), which is around US$1,500.

Problem with grey importing into the US is that you can only get RHD....
