thiers looks cooler because it's different from what you see everyday. People over here like the 'jdm' look. Well guess what, people in japan think the US stuff is cool, so believe it or not, some of them try to get the 'usdm' look.

i know this doesn't answer the 'why are they diffrent' , but it answers the part about theirs looknig cooler.

nowhere else in the world do they have the luxury of our wide-@$$ streets. other than perhaps the exception of australia but there are more kangaroos than people down there. so elsewhere tend to favor sport-tuned suspension vs. our pampered pink-caddy cushion ride. so the foreign market are geared more towards appearance and gadgetry to set their cars apart from one another. whereas here in the states, "most" people focus on size, how to cart our fast-food fat-asses around town. the "most" = general public, and typically exclude those of us who frequent/post on forums such as this. we represent a subculture that's a small % of the population.

You're wrong on all accounts. The JDM Accord is the new Acura TSX, and we won't see the 5 door Si. Chances are 70/30 of the CTR and 40/60 for the ITR. Not a definite by any account.
