A Civic to an average American is a "gas saving grocery getter that is very reliable"

That is why I think they needed the Acura division in the states to sell higher end Hondas. Cuz we "Americans" think Acura is a luxuary division. I think Acura spawned the divisions of Lexus, and Infinity. So they can sell their respective higher end automobiles. Before Acura, there was nothing but Toyota and Datsun, (now Nissan).
As far as bringing the sportier cars over go.... I think Honda will bring the big boys over. They always wait for others to do their thing, and Honda comes back with a bang. As for now, we can only dream.

If Honda brought it over, I have a feeling DOT will basterdize it to hell.
They'll probably yank out the interior goodies anyway...amongst other things.

In 1975, Honda introduced its first high-fuel-economy, low-emissions achievement, the Compound Vortex Controlled Combustion (CVCC) Civic. It was the first vehicle to meet the 1970 Clean Air Act standards without using a catalytic converter, while running on regular gasoline.
It would become the first in a long history of Honda achievements in the realm of lower emissions and resource conservation, culminating in this year's launch of the 2000 Honda Insight. Insight is the first gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle to be sold in the United States. It offers the world's highest fuel economy in a mass-produced gasoline-fueled car, while also achieving ultra-low emissions.
It's been a quarter century since Americans first learned that a commodity they had always thought of as cheap and endlessly available was in fact a limited resource, and could become quite expensive. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) had staged an oil embargo, leading to long lines at the gas pump and a tripling of gasoline prices.
Yet long before the oil embargo, Honda had already embarked on its CVCC project. While the rest of the auto industry was trying to control emissions by treating engine exhaust, Honda engineers believed that more efficient combustion would be a better solution. Their work led to the development of the CVCC engine. It was designed to run smoothly on a very lean air/fuel mixture, lowering emissions of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide without sacrificing performance and driveability

I had the 2nd gen sedan. 36-38 miles per gallon....and kept doing it after 20 years!
