That’s definitely not what came to mind when I read “classic Japanese cars”, my mind went to stuff like the Toyota AE86 and the Miata. And from there, to the likes of the Mitsubishi Lancer, Toyota Supra, Subaru Impreza, Nissan Skyline, all those cars I drooled over when I used to play Gran Turismo as a kid (and still drool over, tbh).

Theres only been one reason to buy a console for over a decade:
Exclusives and Natively Developed Titles.
Sure, you can play Monster Hunter World and The Last of Us on PC, but they look worse and handle like a classic japanese car.
A classic Japanese car? Like those nimble little things that drift down crazy steep mountains and stuff?
Lmfao yeh those Nissan Cherry Alfa were real nimble.

Right so you’re looking at the few and far between best possible examples featured in racing games and anime.
I’m talking about decades of cheap minimal functionality vehicles which were the reality.
In fact, the AE86 was marketed for a very short time in the 80s and was highly popular because it was so cheap, lightweight, and easily modifiable.
