Why didn't Honda give the US Navi?
I've wondering about this too. I watched some of the Hot Version videos and I saw they have a little box on the dash. I thought it was a navi, but unsure. I would love to have a navi on my car. I get lost all the time

THAT is not Honda's Navi, that is some Radio Shack special.
This is what OEM looks like:


This is what OEM looks like:

This system is 100% Alpine, which is what Honda uses in the first place. I don't think that Radio Shack sells Alpine Navi's and touch screen units.

What you posted is not OEM. I'm just correcting you and showing you what OEM really looks like.
A big reason would be because in the Japanese market more cars are ordered, in the US market almost all of the cars are shipped here, and held in stock at a dealer to be sold at the lot, so it's high risk to put a $3000 option in a car that some may want but might not sell. This is the kind of risk that dealerships don't want to take on low volume cars.
