Can you say JDM?
yeah...it could be..but its also left hand drive...are there places in Japan where cars are left hand drive? that would be a pretty big conversion..
In actuality it makes economical sense. I paid $22400 for my Fit and still need to pay around another $1000 to get it on the road, why so much, because the $ucks!!! A RS Fit here comes up to like 2,200,000 Yen out the door. Now take the price of a Fit Sport in the US or Canada, roughly about $17500 on average give or take from what I have seen. Now convert that into Yen, for the past 6 months if not longer, I've only been back for 2.5 now, it has been between 86~91 Yen/$1. That would come up to 1,540,000 Yen at say 88 (what it was when I converted $ to Yen). Shipping a car would run about $2500 (pay anymore and you are getting completely ripped off). When all is said and done, the buyer may have saved himself about 300,000~400,000 Yen and have a pretty exclusive Fit within Japan.

It does not quite make sense though. US imports USDM FIT from Japan and Japanese imports USDM FIT back from the US and it is still cheaper than buy it in Japan.
