Lovely shots. It's a shame we only got the sedan as the Civic Hybrid here in Europe.

And that's a Spec-V GT-R, yes? That leather steering wheel looks oh so inviting!
 
It's actually a limited edition Spec V GT-R. It contains no Spec V badge. But rather a "Egoist" badge. Which is some sort of designer, I think, in Japan. They had a seminar about it and it's a Spec V with the interior by some designer.
 
Camaro (not so common over here):

I'll also say welcome to the thread Shintastic, I'd also LOOOVE to see more cars from Japan, even if they are common over there, there are several japanese-market only cars that are very intresting! I'll be looking forward for MOAR Japan.

Also, the way odd Saab stattion wag in last page is epic. Never seen one before!

That's a Volvo. :p

There used to be one I would walk past with my buddy during lunch break in high school ever day. They are awesome.
 
Dodge Stealth R/T. As far as I know, these were never sold in Europe, so you don't see a lot of those around here:

They're even really rare in America these days. My dad used to have one in the early 90's!
 
nice STi wagon, Shin-chan, and no, we don't get those over here, very cool! Obviously welcome to the thread!

another TT-S

my first Merkur, as far as I'm aware, XR4Ti, though I probably wouldn't have recognized one before NISMO I think spotted one a while back. Note, this is a LUXURY sports hatchback. From the shortest lived luxury marque in US history...

Packard?

and finally Shelby!

... kit car...

and finally a question. I wasn't able to get a shot of it since I was stunned senseless as it was passing me, but I saw this giant military style and colored Hummer times 10 kind of thing (not a Hummer, and taller, longer), looked way too luxury to be an actual military vehicle, and too far from any kind of base, reserve unit, etc., and in a wealthy neighborhood... So, any ideas?

Thanks for the welcomes guys. Here's a car I saw a few months ago. I have no idea what it is. It almost looks like a Lotus/McLaren/Tommy Kaira type thing. Might be a kit car? And I'm talking about the Red Machine. Click for a larger look.

a Tommy Kaira sighting would be awesome, but that's not what this is I don't think.

Also, being from Japan as you are, I hope you got my Shin-chan reference, though I understand it's a fairly common name there (yes, I watch a lot of anime...)

Yeah I got it lol. I thought maybe it was some sort of vemac at once as well.
 
Nice spots from Japan! Get a zoom lens ;)

Really want to know what that red car is... Looks very familiar. I thought it was something made by Autobacs (ASL), but I was wrong. The plot thickens...

Looks like it might be based on an Elise. It seems to be very well built too.

It's my phone. And I had to take the photo quick so I couldn't really zoom. Def not a ASL
 
And we have a match! I've never even heard of that before.

Ah yes! Seen it before but totally put it in the cobwebbed corner of my brain. Never would have remembered the name, ever. It's a really nice car. Looks to be exceedingly well built.

Great spot shintastic48! Off to a good start in the thread...

That's all I got for now. But when I go out later tonight I'll try and get some :)
