Imports

I drove a basically new one (fewer than 200 miles on the clock) last year, and absolutely loved it.

I adore mine. I just wish it was here....and had an engine in it.

Damn you smog regulations!!!

Here's the one I drove. Showing I think 203 miles as of that photo, but when I got into it in the morning it was on 120-something

And given this is the imports thread, here are the rest I drove that day too. Fair to say it was probably one of my highlights of last year... the RX-3 had a 12A under the hood and a straight-through exhaust. One of the best cars I've ever driven.

I love Japan's economy at that time. The fact they went out of their way to offer a U.S.-spec Accord when they already had their own is just mind boggling.

Yup. Even the Acura CL was offered there.

EJ1 (EG Civic coupe), Accord Coupe... I shudder to think of the overheads for something so unnecessary.

The Domani (Civic 5 door/Rover 400) and Ascot Innova (EU Accord/Rover 600) were also EU market front ends with a bespoke rear end for the Domani and frameless doors for the Ascot respectively. Essentially Rover based cars localised for the JDM.

On the subject of the March K11, one of my favorite Japanese hatchbacks:

That just looks so right on the steel wheels. Think the one in Gran Turismo 2 was in this combo, wasn't it?

"TAKTAX" At least he knows.

Trying to come to terms with the fact I'll probably never own one of these.

Appreciation post for the Cosmo JC, one of the most stunning and classy designs ever to come out of Japan.

This just appeared on my Twitter feed. K11 March, appears to be a kind of replica of the MG 1300. More successful than the Mitsuoka Viewt, though the roofline still doesn't quite work at the rear to match the actual MG.

This appears to be the owner's Instagram.

Since I just finished my first week and a bit of Mazdaspeed3 ownership, here's a little mini-dump of some Speed3s.

^This one right here is goals (although I'd like some Buddy Club P1 SFs over the RPF1s, personally)

Love me some retro Opel.
