Furthermore are the US models getting these upgrades? Bigger brakes are good no matter the market. johnnycanuck, I highly doubt that 300-500 changes per model can be chalked up to the autbahn.

They'll buy diesels, slap on the "sport" package on it and brag to their friend they have a "diesel M5" or a "diesel AMG". "Looks the same, almost as fast, does 100mpg" they say.. The extent of their deuchebaggery can only be rivaled by the stereotypical US Prius owner. Honda has some really good offers for Europe but people hardly buy them. Take for example the Civic Sedan, which sells for 20kE in Romania, all takes included, almost fully loaded (no GPS though or leather). Still, people in my country insist on buying more expensive, less powerful, worse equipped VWs and Skodas... Go figure!? I think Infinity will have a hard time here unfortunately :( Europeans are somewhat strange, they won’t tolerate Japanese or American cars but will buy any crap that VW puts on the market!

Nissans are made in the UK too. National pride bollocks, germans buy plenty of Renaults and the British are sluts and will buy anything. Europeans are just more demanding when it comes to the refinement and build quality of their cars which is why they laugh at Chrysler interiors Honda sells loads in the UK, they make them in Swindon, Wiltshire.

Most of the improvements listed look like those required for sustained high speed, as in autobahn, type driving. Over here that gets you a prison buddy.

Europeans have a little more national/continental pride than we do, and they typically buy what their country puts out. The most popular car in Europe is Volkswagen. Honda barely sells anything there. Nissan knows this, so that actually have to make their car seem like something better than it is, for that market.
