im surprised the beat isn't more popular here...it's designed by Pininfarina for crying out loud
prices too high for import? very few parts in common with del sol/civics? top speed is limited to 135kph but so it should still be plenty for our highways...just don't expect to be passing anyone.

I think you're forgetting the fact that the car is actually tiny and probably doesn't fit the majority of us North American folk comfortably. That and the fact that the Miata has more power, aftermarket availability, and is far more easily attainable.

IMO this car wouldn't do well in NA because the majority of consumers here are obsessed with power and size.

The FR-S/BRZ has 200 hp and lots of people complained (and still do) about how it's not enough... I can't imagine a car 3/4 the size with less than 50% the power doing well here at all. Not to mention that this thing would likely not be fun for a 50+km highway drive which is pretty common esp in the US.

That being said, it would be cool to have Honda cash in on the resurgence of cheap RWD "fun" cars... if they made this car a little bigger and put a nice DOHC 4-banger in it, sort of like a baby S2000, I'd definitely consider dropping the money for one.
