| be sold in Japan along with the US, is handcuffed by their pedestrian impact standards. It restricts the height of the hoodline in certain ways. I read an article a year or two about it somewhere on the net, might have been linked here. Take a look at everything coming out of Japan and you'll see very blockish front ends, long gone are the days of the NSX and Z32's low slung styling. Acuras are HIDEOUS now, I'm scared of what the abomination they are going to release as an NSX is going to look like. You'll even see how it has affected the styling of german cars available in the Japanese market too, all the new Benzes have the same awkard-looking bulges way upfront. Yet another example of too much government fucking things up for everyone.
  
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. There is no such thing as public opinion. There is only published opinion. We are all worms. But I believe that I am a glow-worm
