Well, we get 'Vettes, Mustangs, Camaros, Yukons, Suburbans, Escalades, etc. here for a dime a dozen, while the Japanese have to pay a premium price to get their hands on one over there.

They sure do pay that premium on those cars. I've driven by the chevy/merc dealer in Naha and seen how much one of those damn new camaros costs

It's mindblowing, ain't it?!
I remember people in Ikebukuro were oohing and aahing at a late '90s Camaro with a bodykit and some Japanese generic brand knockoff Flowmasters once. The driver had the biggest pompadour you'd ever seen!

Uhhh, not really... The four headlamp front end was the stock setup for most non-Type R Integras in Japan. You see them all over the place (although most 3rd gen Integras are getting rarer in Japan now as they are junked instead of going through safety inspection renewal).

Well I don't know how it is in mainland yet, but here in Oki most of the non-type r integras have the same front end. I'm not sure which model it is that has the 4 headlights like the US integras but there's a handful of those around the island and on my base.
