Pat,
It is true that the US version 200SX is only in the $17000 (USD) range.
However,
on this side of the pond the 200SX is a small 2-door front wheel drive
golf-ball.
The afore-mentioned price will get you the SE-R with a 140 hp, FI, 2.0L
engine and
some amenities (i.e. AC & sunroof).
I'm guessing that the 200SX in the UK is the same as the 200SX in
Australia with RWD, and the DOHC, intercooled, turbocharged 2.0L
engine? Unfortunately we don't have a comparable one in the US.
Perhaps the UK price is worth it when you consider the
US option ... not available, period.
Just my 0.02 cents worth,
Todd
