Why do asian cars look better than the US versions
I was wondering does any one know why the Hong Kong/Thailand version of the Accord looks so much nicer than the US version. Plus its loaded with more features! HIDS, blinking Mirrors, and nice fog lights???? Does anyone know if those fog lights will fit on a coupe?

Its not that they really look better its just that they have it and we dont.They are used to blackhouseing headlights, sidemarkers, clear bumper lights and stuff like that when they probally want the chrome houseing. Unlike us we want the black houseing headlights, motor, and items like that. But I do agree they do look a little nicer. u

It's not that JDM cars are that much better looking, I think it also has to do with the whole saying "grass is always greener on the other side". People want what they can't have............just human nature.

Well, I talked to many Japanese (who live in japan) and other asian+ europeans and they all agree that US version is LAMER than JDM.. and they do not like big-round-good-for-nothing US version.
However, I wasn't talking to 1000s of people..so I can't just say that what everyone feels.

My only complaint is that US cars tend to be too big. And yes, I would like to see same-named cars be same on both continents. I'm not sure why do they try so hard to keep them divided.

I knew someone's gonna put that as an excuse so I deleted it from my original post 
Actually, americans might be bigger than most asians but not really bigger than europeans and europeans still get the nicer smaller cars.
From what I've heard, people over here tend to think they'll be safer in a huge car plus they need more room!?
Always remember a joke... need more room? Why not move to Texas?
