[s-cars] importing problem

[Craig D. Niederst]

If I remember correctly, some of the very early US-spec '90 CQ's were not 
equipped with an airbag. Is the problem simply because it is a '91? There is 
little difference between the '90 and '91 models (glass sunroof comes to 
mind), so this combined with the fact there were some '90's without the 
airbag makes no sense why it is not importable.
