CD8 Honda Accord SiR, Umeda-san de Ibaraki ou Alfa Romeo GTVB, Kouichi Niitsuma from Saitama
i think theyre adopting too much usdm style over there, straying from the jdm flavor we all love
Jesus god that Prelude is the sexXxXxXxxxxxx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whats with all this American influence on Japan?? I used to LOVE every different part of the Japanese car scene, but this hellaflush / Cali influence in Japan seems so backward to me
More GC8!!
I never thought the following words would come out of my mouth, but:
that mazda millenia looks good
Diggin' the Accord and the Succeed.
I have to agree with what people are saying though, too much 'Flush' influence on these cars. That' s what the internet does sometimes...
@Bro5 Yeah its better than altezza tail lights but not much...soon this stupid fatlace/hellflush/illest crap will be remember as a time when an earlier decade was hellalame. Like how we look at early 2000s rice. z3 fenders, carbon fiber wings, and altezza tails. Kinda embarressing to car culture. Japan style has always been way better than North America style japanese-car-tuning, everybody knows. Its too bad Japan has fell for a North American fad.
Agreed mate
@Bro5 true...but they still seem to do a better job!! look at that Z33 and the JZX100 mark 2 at the bottom looks sick!
DAT MAZDA!!! lovvve it
I agree on the comments on 'Flush' I was tempted to do go for it with my EG6, then I realized I was doing it because all my friends were slamming their cars and they really looked cool. But if you use your car as an everyday ride you end up suffering at every ramp or speed bump and it takes most of the fun and freedom the car offers, I wouldn't have been able to drive out of the housing project where I live, because of a speed bump. Also I put some ricey projector headlamps 5 years ago, and now I really find them quite ugly.
Trends fade away and the really awesome stuff designs and lines survive. But hey that's just my opinion and if it makes people happy to have show cars or cars that have to be driven carefully then I respect that.
The cars really look good though.
I love every single one of them! All the details are great, except for the North American style influence, like some of you said... those stickers and roof racks... they look very ugly.
The Sports 800 was unexpected; it looks sweet! GX71s are always badass, the Prelude is cool, Mark IIs are always welcome, the Millenia looks very smooth... I could go on and on.
Prelude love, and its being properly abused as it should be
HEELLLLL yes
Sweet 800, and JZXs are always cool, but I think the F50 Cima on GTR wheels is my personal favourite...
I am digging that little Sports 800 man... looks pretty damn good!! o_O
I love the GC8 and Fairlady Z
tackiest bunch of japanese cas i've ever seen

The "hellaflush" trend actually originated from Japan's VIP cars and maybe even further back to bozuku styling. It could also be attributed to the Volkswagen tuning scene. The VIP scene went from strictly big body, JDM sedans (Crown, Cima, etc.) in either black or white to including kei cars and different paint schemes. Once that started to evolve you started to see that styling applied to many different cars. The American tuning scene was just starting to catch on to VIP at the time and really, it just went from there. And with the internet car scene growing every day, it really is no surprise to see all different styles being melded together across continents.

If you guys are getting heaps of Japanese rides and rides from everywhere else, I'd like to see this segment split into two each week. i.e. one Jap specific and one for the rest of us. Just a thought . keep up the good work. Peace

I love Japanese rides (trust me I really do) but you should just include these car into the international list with the other countries.
Proof that the Japanese are just as susceptible to believing that more stickers = more power.
That's something we've been considering, though it obviously depends on the volume of submissions
oho, I am loving that Milennia. you definitely don't see one every day.
Love the JZX100.
i love the cars really love the fact that there are no gtrs,evos,rx7,and other very common cars i love to see other platforms. i Really love the mazda !! can you do a feature on that ??
Hokkaido has a surprisingly strong scene, it seems. I'll have to check into it when I'm over there next month.And that Sports 800 looks awesome! I'm working on one now for the Lane Motor Museum.
@Jmayhem Or maybe not everyone is obsessed with how many stickers is on the car. This bizarre hysteria has came out from America. Maybe in Japan they just don't give a damn about that.
YOTA HACHI!!!
