Same line of reasoning there is no Civic-R in the states ... people won't buy the RSX-S.

Auto makers don't want to confuse the public as well as split sales among their line-ups. This is causing the decline of GM ... similar cars under different badges. If you can sell a 260Hp i4 turbo Eclipse for $25K, why would people want to buy an Evo for 29K?

I'm all for the turbo Eclipse, but I understand why they aren't doing it.
