  It likely isn’t any different in imported models, flame retardant materials are a very basic and very important safety feature.

  Also, it is surprisingly hard to import a car in the US. I’d kill for decent hot hatch that wasn’t $40k.

    Adding to this, unless you did the importing yourself, it’s still subject to the exact same regulations. Under the law, Hondas are domestic (made in Ohio). Lexuses (made in Japan) are imported, but have to meet all of the same requirements to be sold en masse. This includes federal (including safety standards) and state (most famously, California fuel efficiency requirements).
