I think its funny the JDM civic gets the same radar cruise control that Benz has just started putting in American cars.

The one that you set how far back to stay from people and will slow you down to maintain that distance.

A little off topic.....

I honestly believe that a sports car should be raw.

 

With all the people here who are scared about their car and put the top up every chance they get, all that a Nav system would do is even make you more paranoid.

It rained here yesterday, I had to put the top up since the day I purchased the car on Feb. 26, that included 4 days parked at LAX while I was back East, think I would have left the top down all these months with one of those Nav things in the car ?

Its a Roadster, pure and simple, if you get lost enjoy the ride until you figure out where you are.

i think its because Japaneses dont want us to have all the good stuff like the lack of some colors, lack of some seat colors, lack of vgs, and lack of navi










im only joking

Well just to add to that. I believe US law states that the distributor must inventory replacement parts for something like 15 years after a vehicle goes out of production. Honda sells 4-5,000 a year, and only 2-30% might have been navigation. They probably cannot make enough additional money from selling Navi to cover the extra cost of supporting it until 2025.

 

The idea behind not having navi is that if you are driving the S properly (white knuckles and all) you don't have opportunity to check a navi. If you are not driving as such, you should have purchased the Boxster. I am sure those offer all the desired amenities.

Most of the people who are making comments aren't addressing the fact that Honda gave the Navi to other regions.

 

Who distributes Hondas in other regions? This is where your answer lies.

 

It would be easier for Honda to ship out basic colors and no optioned s2k to US and make most profit on low volume cars instead of deal with so much ordeals on model with low profit to them.

They just don't give a crap to make several different optioned cars on already low volume / low selling / low profit cars.

Their point is to sell most simple to build low volume car and sell it in that form in biggest market to them and make most profit out of it where they can.
