Ah yes, one of my favorite automotive pet-peeves

Lazy special editions. Slap some special paint, black trim, wheels and badges and call it a day. “The Japanese manufacturer says the PMC Edition is inspired by the “the unique capabilities” of its Ohio-based bespoke Performance Manufacturing Center (PMC). The biggest highlight of the limited-edition sports sedan is that it will be produced by the same technicians that hand-assemble the NSX supercar.” WOW! how exciting! $5000 over the regular one for this:

ZERO mechanical changes. At least put an Intake/Exhaust/tune on it. PMC my ass. I’m happy att least they’re bringing a turbo V6 Type-S to NY auto show this year.
