The Sony radio is not sold in the U.S.; it is available in Japan & Europe. One more example, among far too many, of how Japanese firms continue to ignore, or disdain, the U.S. market for their top quality products. I guess they think we wouldn't appreciate them. Gaijin.
Sony/Panasonic/Matsu****a/AudioTechnica/Seiko/Citizen/etc. all exhibit the same attitude. Honda/Toyota/Nissan do to a somewhat lesser degree (they export to us the most profitable expensive stuff)...

Subaru is breaking ground in this area with the 2002 Impreza WRX. Finally, a Japanese car company is seeing the USA as a great market for their top performance cars. Support Subaru! In a couple of years, we'll see the Impreza WRX STi!
Funny, the Subaru was the example of the way the car market may be changing. But it took several years for us to get that car. And I hear great things about that hotter version in Japan.
If you want examples of the Japanese marketing perspective, a look at any of the watch fanatic forums would show the same thing. Several places in Japan and Singapore have sprung up to supply home-market Seiko and Citizen models to the U.S. Seiko's best stuff never gets close to the U.S. They send us the ugly pieces. Check out www.higuchi-inc.com for examples of what you can get in Japan from Citizen & Seiko.
