bet you 2k or from each 8k is goin into someones pocket. what BS, why would i pay 8k for that pos. I'd rather pay another 1700 for an accent. the only reason this car gained so much attention is because it's cheap. 8K for it? no thanks.

On a side note what is the purpose of the 5mph bumper test. if your goin at 5mph, if you hit someone at that speed its goin to do the same damage regardless how long your bumper is, if you go faster, its goin to get fuked anyway. If you hit an object or wall, thats your fault and pay the damages. I'd rather drive a nice looking car than one with an long ass nose and ass so i can save a few bucks if i hit something at 5mph.

Damn americans just want to make stupid irrelevant changes unique to the stupid country so it makes them 'seem' smarter and more powerful in the world market. Like the standard measuring system = the fuk.

Who cares if it's going to cost $8,000, no one is going to buy that plain piece of shit.

I had an inkling it would have to do with emissions.
I had this intuition because of what happened earlier
this month in Quebec.

According to the last Saturday's Globe and Mail,
the provincial government had set its emissions
standards for new cars to meet previously what
had been the benchmark(eg California). However,
the US administration dropped these requirements
very recently.

Two factors now can and have emerged from this.
First, manufacturers(passed along to customers)
would be required to pay a fine of up to several
dollars for models that don't meet the standards.
Second is that manufacturers would likely have to
deliver special "spec" vehicles to Quebec.
The dealers in the article were quite upset and
understandably so. The ministry was unavailable to
comment.

Adhesive is actually stronger and lighter than welded cars, the new JDM Type-R sedans are bonded together too.

this is the version they will bring to Europe...it comes with all the standard safety equipment. If it comes with Cd player, bigger engine, and power everything. $8000 should be reasonable
