Japan: Yes, Japan. The cars lack that which I hold dear; soul. The cars are engineering marvels, but you get the feeling they were engineer's toys. But the reason I skewed my vote, was thanks to the availability of the sports cars. Skylines aren't too expensive, some of the best cheap sports cars are Japanese, like the 350/370Z, Toyota Trueno, and others. I could pick up one of these cars reasonably. And I'd have a hell of a time. And for the true reason I skewed my vote? They're easily modified. The lack of soul that is found in even the best of Japanese cars? Give it your own. Do some modifications to it. Install that new exhaust, give it it's new intake, but do it yourself. And that missing soul? It's being added. With your own. The point of my choice is not to go with the car with the most soul, it's the car where you can put the most of your soul into it, and make that car less an object, and more an inanimate extension of you. Sure, you can buy an Alfa Romeo, and you can tell there's soul and passion there, but the connection may be lacking. Take an old Z car, and give it modifications. Yourself. And the you will find the missing soul, is replaced with your own.
