Honda Civic Type R

[Feersty]

I was watching Car and Driver television today on SpikeTV and they were featuring a Mugen outfitted Honda Civic(Type R) complete with the 2.0L i-VTEC engine from the Civic Type R that puts out 240 hp and does 0-60 in 6.1 seconds. Why are these vehicles not imported to the U.S., I just am not sure exactly about this, that is why I am asking. Questions, Comments?
