We always want what we can't have or easily get.

I do like those wheels but I think ours would look just as good in white!

Hi everyone, just a quick little video I made on my lunch time walk to Honda in Japan.
No Type R ordered just yet... if you are interested in Japan there might be some of the other videos you are interested in too.

@ the 2:40 mark, it shows an auto start/stop button. I would never use this feature but I'm wondering why the US version doesn't have this. I was hoping to see what those blanket buttons near the steering wheel are for the Japan spec. Again, the US version are just a bunch of blanks.

The button on the right of the steering wheel on the dash appeared to be a Traction Control/VSC button. Auto start I think is now required in Japan, all the rental cars I have hired here have it, I generally turn it off because I find it annoying. (I look in my rear view mirror a lot when slowing down or stopping incase of people coming up behind too fast or out of control, the idea of the car being even slightly hesitant if I need to move is something I don't like)

They have a hood pop option in Japan that pops up the rear portion of the hood if it senses a collision with a pedestrian?

WTF?

Mind = blown

I live just over the river from Tokyo in Kanagawa, about 20min from Shibuya on Denentoshi-line, but am in central Tokyo most days for work.
