JAPAN: Japan has to be a close second. Whereas the Italians are both modern and super stylish, Japan is just modern. Flat out modern, all the way. Take, for instance, the Nissan GT-R. It's sharp, refined, precise - it's the most modern looking car I've ever seen in my life. It is the car equivalent of, say, a digital camera or an iPhone - I feel that you could fit it in with all these up-to-date technological gadgets. "There's my HDTV... and there is my PS3... and there is my iPhone, my £2000 digital camera, and there's my Nissan GT-R". The Japanese, as everyone knows, has a reputation of pure technological achievement and innovation, and the Nissan GT-R is the embodiment of this is car form. Aside from the GT-R, you've also got your Skylines, Imprezas, and Nissan 350-70zs.
Modern Japanese cars reflect what Japan is. Technology, sharpness, precision. I also feel there is a lot of aggression, as well - especially in the Skyline R34, the 2006 model Impreza, the new 370z. Japanese cars are by far the most modern cars on Earth today.
GERMANY: Germany is my third selection. In my opinion, German cars do lack somewhat in passion. They are modern, but not as modern as the Japanese. But, these are no bad things. I look at a German car - M5, RS6, S-Class - and I just get the sense it'll get the job done, and do it well. There's a sense of safety... reliability... engineering. On a stormy, rainy night, with the worst possible conditions - which would be impossible to walk home in - I just even look at an M5 and I think, "that'll get me home safely". With the Germans, you get this sense of perfection... amazing engineering, with surgical precision. I imagine that, yes, there are German cars that break down at the side of the road. But I look at them, and they look like the most solid, reliable cars ever, and nothing will ever go wrong. The Germans are all about engineering and precision, and it really shows in their cars.
Go 👍
