Your point is well taken, HDDP. I think my main intention with this thread is to demonstrate the strong interest level for such a part in our community. But you folks are right, any company wanting to profit from our community ought to take a lot of the initiative (and incur all of the costs) for development. Anyone living close by who wants to encourage the vendor is by all means welcomed to do so, but I am not insisting that anyone drive well out of their way, and act as a free consultant, for that purpose. However, I am insisting that anyone who has griped about really wanting an intake on this forum in the past, speak up now to show your interest level and any preferences you may have.

I might be wrong on this point, but I still think the Sport Compact scene is in decline. Recently, I noticed all of the APC stuff on clearance at one of those "Big Box" stores. I think a lot of companies that have invested heavily in the "Civic scene" need to diversify to European and American cars to survive in the long term, since the market seems to be headed in a different direction. Perhaps that is why a lot of the aftermarket companies I have contacted recently are eager to hear from us.
