I agree that those items listed would absolutely be wonderful for the RSX. ((Drooling!!!!)) Unfortunately if honda had done that, the price of the car would have risen and it would quite frankly not be as price competitive as some other cars available now in the current market place. I think Honda stands to make more money off the product that they have now, taking into account the complete product mix line that they have on the market ( Honda and Acura), it's competitors, and to the target market they are trying to sell to. Why else do you think the european and japanese domestic market version of cars in the past have typically been more performance oriented than what they offer here in the north american market? Sure it bites.... but that is what their majority target market wants and that is how Honda is responding to it.
I suspect the new type R, if it ever gets to the north american market will have all the goodies that sports enthusiasts would want on their wishlist.... well... hopefully.
