it's suppose to be around or less than 2000lbs. safety equipment isn't as strict in jdm cars i heard, vs ones sold in the us since overall speed is much slower in japan.

but yah, if that came to the US with a 1L turbo at 2500lbs and some taffyapple sat in it with a gross weight of ~3000lbs, then yah, the car will just snap in half...

yah, lets just hope taffyapples dont ruin it for us like they did with most cars out there today. wth my honda fit is bigger than a civic hb i had 25+yrs ago. i prefer to have small cars.

yah, i personally dont care for those golfcarts either.

i like my cars that fit me like a glove so that it's like a part of my body.
honda was known for making cars like that until about the mid-2000's... and when S2000's were gone, not too many cars like that at all.

Not bad. But your right it most likely will not make it over to North America.

yah, i had a cooper-s long time ago. was definitely a fun car to own. it had terrible electronic problems though, especially the a/c.

i hear the new mazda's are looking a lot better then that silly (grin).

i was looking at the abarth seriously, but considering my fit can do double duty and be pretty fun to drive, i decided to get another coupe next.
