    I happen to like them any vintage - the majority of my "fleet" is Japanese (both my wife and I drive modern cars and I own 2 classics)!

    At getting groiceys and driving grandma to the doctors office but other than that I wouldn't think that those cars even come close to what a lambo or ferrari has to offer.

    And better at the use of modern performance technology...performance is more than just 0-60 and 1/4 mile numbers. Performance encompasses price, MPG, reliability, usability, ease of maintenance, comfort, ect...and the Asian brands trump all others by a wide margin. Plus, from the 240z to the NSX to the STi to the GTR, some Asian cars also give the exotics a run for there money in the 0-60 and 1/4 miles numbers as well...

    GT-R, NSX, Supra, RX-7, Z cars. These are all legitimate sports cars. A few are even owned by members!

    Maybe the third time's the charm...

    In addition to Rob's head start of @150 threads, I moved @500 threads into "Imports" - for roughly 650.

    All figures estimated:

    Cumulative total of GTR, Supra and NSX threads? 100.
    5 threads are Carbon wondering about his Sentra.
    5 are PeterS wondering about his 4Runner.
    5 are PeterS being teased mercilessly about his Solara.
    10 bemoan Import percentages vs. Domestic.
    10 featured Vintage Japanese cars.
    10 feature Japanese cars with gigantic spoilers.
    50 start out wondering about Prius/Smart Cars of Asian descent.
    50 mock the same, start to finish.
    60 are about Evos and 'rus.
    75 are about Soccer Moms.
    100 mock "ricers" through and through, fart cans and all.
    120 are titled along the lines of "hey I got an Infiniti/Lexus"

    In short, we gave it an honest effort, but, it was General Discussion.
