Honda UK must be making a very healthy profit - since the JDM RHD version is listed at under 20K (before Japan taxes) - the spec difference is peanuts in terms of cost - shipping is less than 1k for a big company - so the margin in UK must be very very healthy - but since demand is there and looking at which car are they competing against - 30K+ Porsches - I guess they can easily justify it.
