Do you think Japanese Envy American Cars???ThaLegend 08-07-2003, 05:39 AM You guys know the way we love Silvias, Skylines, Supras, and all those good Japanese car... Well have you ever wondered if they think the same about our American Muscle.?.?.? Because your going to naturally get sick of seeing the same cars... :confused: NismoFreakS14 08-07-2003, 06:20 AM Actually there are Camaro clubs and alot of other American classic car clubs over there. Ever see a JDM 3rd Gen Camaro!? It's whack yo! :bloated: :eek7: christofurr 08-07-2003, 06:38 AM It's like that anywhere in the world. There will be groups that will like what their own country produces more, and there will be groups that like what other places around the world produce.

It's not a JDM car... it's more or less JDM-ized. Lowered on some insanely wide JDM style wheels, that sort of JDM. It just looks odd, so used to Rednecks owning them. SR20DETpower 08-07-2003, 10:25 AM they like all sortsa american shit... Hey maybe this will get you guys to start calling your cars 240sx's again..... LMFAO Japanese guys went through a reverse type JDM trend. We wanted stuff from Japan, they wanted American styled stuff.... even 240sx tail light panels were something wierd and cool to have on a 180sx in japan.... all those people are trying to be like you and your trying to be like them, funny isn't it... grass isn't always greener on the other side. Dorikin 08-07-2003, 10:59 AM Muscle cars are in demand in Japan. Vettes, Stangs, F-Bodys, and especially older cars. klohiq 08-07-2003, 12:59 PM I believe the numbers are still highest for america exporting SUVs to japan. The best seller over there a year or two ago and I'm sure it still is probly the best seller was a Suburban (I think) or one of those huge ass SUVs. Personally I hate this SUV trend...and it sucks because it took off at the same time as the sport compact trend so now there are little tiny cars all over the road and this huge hulking death machines ready to kill everyone on their way to soccer practice. PlastikAssassin 08-08-2003, 01:33 AM Mmmh, what you're saying is very true, but the Japanese are becoming more and more "Westernized" culturally, if you've ever been there, you'll notice that they love anything and EVERYTHING "American".

Even my American NUTS!!! :pimp: PlastikAssassin 08-08-2003, 03:31 AM bahaha, only at 3:30 am would that be funny IwannaDRift 08-08-2003, 06:01 AM The strangest USDM craze in Japan is the Chevy Astros w/ 5 foot long bumpers and like, a million, subs in the back... strange, BUT.. they must think the same of us, I can imagine this "crazy americans, changing his DC2 front end to resemble a mundane S15??!?!?!, he originally had the ROUND!!! headlights and USDM bumper, what a silly person, and he changed his LS and "Acura" emblem to be TYPE R and HONDA... how strange!!"----- YEs..... I know that they sell the round headlight integras (or used to) so STFU!! mynismo 08-08-2003, 02:26 PM any way it goes people want something out of the ordinary remember american beauty.... ordinary sucks ShinRekka 08-08-2003, 02:59 PM yeh my japanese friends family is obsessed with pizza, chicken nuggets and arnold shwarzeneger, last time i was over there we ate pizza and watched terminator and i got drunk and pissed on his couch, i dont know if they like american stuff anymore Kenji_240SX 08-08-2003, 04:53 PM I wonder if the term "ricer" in japan is known as "steaker" in US? whoops, I meant that around...:biggrin: enecks 08-08-2003, 04:57 PM and i got drunk and pissed on his couch, i dont know if they like american stuff anymore I laughed out loud at that one.
