As usual, I’m having a hard time believing that we are already about half way through the month of May, but such is the life of a busy Speedhunter. While we are in the midst of attacking the fifth month of the year head on, let’s kick off the new week by taking one last look back at April with a round up and poll of the month’s feature cars.
Feel free to take a look a through the list, relive the stories and then vote and discuss in the comments area.

OFFICIAL SPEEDHUNTERS SUPPLIERS
I would've chosen THAT BLUE SUBARU. But flippin' chrome wheels I can't stand chrome wheels on a scooby
I can't see the poll.
My winner is the Pikes Peak Escudo. It's got TWO ENGINES. That's better than one.
I'm going with the N-Style Soarer. It combines class and functionality really well!
the white/black AE86 Levin...and the red Trueno right after
So many good toyota's!
Gotta choose that pikes peak escudo, really want to see it by the flesh!
Have to say the Panda 86
E&H Motors' Evo VIII
I love the Z20 soarer that thing is beast. On a side note though. Are you guys releasing last months #IAMTHESPEEDHUNTER winners and announcing this months theme?
Z20 Soarer is awesome
Wagon...
Crooks & Castles W124..
The Benz for me
I can't choose between Osaka JDM EK9 Honda Civic Type R and Sato’s Toyota AE86
Subaru
I love that s30. But im probably biased considering i own a couple s30s and s31s
Love the S30 but it's gotta be the BRZ for me.
Either the Osaka Civic or the BRZ. I have a soft spot for Hondas and the Risky Devil story was just super well written.
For me its got to be the Kanjo Life Dictates Civic, its even resulted with my ford obsessed friends ordering miscellany parts from the pswdJDM guys to "show some love for the Jap hot hatches too"
it (makes my friends) cross demographics, and that sort of thing really kicks my boots.
The EVO for sure
Pretty into Patrick Murray's Corolla
crooks & castles w124. had to ride in the way back of my mums estate for years, totally get the sentiments, brought back some funny memories.
I was pretty intrigued by the Crooks & Castles W124 Mercedes-Benz and really enjoyed the story behind it. Such a cool daily driver and definitely not your everyday Benz. Also, I'm a sucker for wagons.
Have to say I do love both AE86s, the Osaka JDM civic was pretty amazing as well. A great month for JDM cars! Keep em coming
N-Style Soarer!
Brian Ang ditto. the escudo though runs a very close second.
redhatchback they're probably still having issues with the poll like what happened back then...
no offence but pretty lame month
N-Style Z20 Toyota Soarer
The datsun fo sho
don't think i ever voted for a honda before…
the escudo
Monster Sport Pikes Peak Suzuki Escudo
long roof benz
We used to sit in the "way back" when I was a kid. and we Always made faces at the driver stopped behind us at traffic lights.
The Mercedes because we used to have one in a nice blue colour, I had the rare electric heater option or fans or whatever it was, either way it was a bad option as it set on fire and smoke was billowing out of the air con vents inside so we pulled over and put a hose pipe through it!
Richard Fisher's Hachirokuh
My vote goes to the Escudo..
But damn those two AE86's, I have a big soft spot for them.
Patrick Murray’s Toyota Trueno AE86
Richard Fisher’s Subaru BRZ and Sato’s Toyota AE86. very clean... nothing goes wrong when play simple
You guys made very difficult to pick one. Even for the car is most like in my garage it's a real toss up. S30, red 86, Benz wagon. Car of the month should be the monster Suzuki, however it is a very old (read: not a new) build. So cross it out. The evo and the sti is a coin toss. The Levin and the civic are a bit too rough. Risky devil zn6 wins by default. Lol
Datsun! Also the interactive poll needs to come back, looking through everyone's comments is just brutal.
Now, that's nasty. ALL cars on the list look pretty awesome, I couldn't decide, and then I noticed that I have this BRZ as my wallpaper since the article came out, so my vote goes to the RB BRZ.
But all the other cars were awesome aswell, especially the hachorokus and the Evo, I'm a huge fan of these two iconic rides!
Where did the Interactive list go? ^^
Anyways ... the Merc Wagon. That's my kind of ride! I like that simple but still over the top in a way
I don't like any of them, maybe the last ae86 but not really a fan of this type of cars.
Evo!
STi and S30 are a close call, but probably the Subie just because I own one.
Evo fo' sho'
No poll available, but I'm with the Evo VIII. so sorry they aren't coming back with XI
The Irish 86!!!!!!!!
W124 wagon
Osaka JDM ek9.
Gotta be the Evo for me.
That Merc Wagon... I love it.
Evo
Shakotan Datsun S30
Run Free Ae86
N style z20, couldt tell you why. Just makes me feel.
An AE86 is For Life, all the way.
N-Style Z20 Toyota Soarer
It's a perfect mix of old and new, it's a unique treatment of the car and full of character.
i personally loved all of the cars in april! i think it was one of the best months for car features lately!
ae86
Escudo for sure, that thing is bonkers.
Kanjo EK9 and N style Z20
love them both
Torn between the Merc and the Escudo...
the escudo. shit's intense. two engines?! thats the kind of cool crap you think up when you're a kid, and to see someone realize that...wow
Escudo. The red evo was a close 2nd due to the sleeper factor
The Panda 86. It just makes me smile when I look at it. So pure and classic.
W124 - Grand ma had one!
N-Style Z20 Toyota Soarer is currently my wallpaper.
W124...
satos ae86
Crooks & Castles W124 Mercedes-Benz
The two AE86's, the N-style Z20 and the Fairlady? Oh man i can't decide.
The Escudo and the z20
No fair, how am I suppose to choose from Sato's and Patricks Ae86s? And that Kanjko Civic is pure awesome!
Kanjo dictates
My votes goes to :-
Osaka JDM EK9 Honda Civic Type R http://www.speedhunters.com/2014/04/kanjo-life-dictates/
Kanjo! Keeping it real...
Kanjo Civic all the way!
The Hello Special S30 is the car I'd have myself, but I voted for Satos AE86 - A story of a love affair with a car like this is what car-life is all about!
I pick Hello special's S30 since they have created sth that has simply defined a true Kyusha in terms of both proportions and simplicity
An AE86 for life!
My vote is for the Hans Ruiterman's evo. Is a very clean package that envolves a monster. 716 HP for the street use??? Is a crazy thing.
Both Corollas.
