American cars are a status symbol in Japan, the old muscle cars, and the new SUVs, basically the performance or cream of the crop, just really difficult and expensive to import into Japan, like importing a JDM to the US.
Come on what idiot would import a minivan or a geo metro. geesh! |

Come on what idiot would import a minivan or a geo metro. geesh! [right][snapback]230701[/snapback][/right] ... I always thought that when the Japanese want a status symbol they drive German cars... if you think about why our trucks are "popular" over there its because, next to toyota land cruisers and nissan prados, nobody domestic makes a large SUV... old cars really dont count imo, but when it comes to new cars americans are totally outclassed. GM still makes pushrod engines for their cars like its the end of the world... in a technology crazed society like japan, american cars would almost be a joke in terms of how far behind they are... -------------------- Car #3: 98 Accord LX- purchased 5/06, totaled 8/06
