why would you say these cars changed the world?

[mmutasim2]

@renell Many of them didn't really 'change the world',but heightened Japan's reputation as a worthy car manufacturer internationally. Take for example the Skyline from Nissan. It came out of nowhere in 1989 and set a new lap record for a standard production car on the Nurburgring. The Supra,like the Skyline,was highly tunable and durable due to their exceptionally built,heavy duty engines. Then there is the MX5. While it is small and understated,it is very nimble and a joy around tight corners.

@renell The Lancer Evolution and Impreza WRX were legends of rallying,setting new standards with their 4WD systems and other advanced technology. The cars are also durable,so they can take quite a lot of beating without dying,as seen in WRC and such. The Honda NSX is great too. Co developed by Ayrton Senna,it was the first Honda to beat Ferrari in its own game in the 90s. A legend,and still is. Then there is the 'indestructible' Toyota Hilux,which has had quite a history(eg N. Pole expedition).

Super! i love in particular Lexus brand and my favourite are the LF-A (i hope they produced this car in future) and the IS-F.

[mmutasim2]

Thanks! I also love Lexus/Toyota, and like you too,I am hoping for the LF-A to be unveiled! The IS-F is great too,but I hope they rerelease it in the traditional manual transmission. Plus,the paddle shifters on the IS-F is connected to the steering wheel,so when we shift up or down while cornering,it may feel uncomfortable.

Oh yeah, the Miata is counted as the too cute car. Compared against the Nissan Z, the BMW Z4, the Porsche Boxster, the Honda S2000 and The Merc SLK.

is there a next gen supra? i figured toyota gave up on driving pleasure seeing that all they make is economical shit mobiles. id love to see a new supra, but ive lost all resect for toyota over the years.

[AXELDIECAST]

i'm agree but i also hope they'll made the light weight version of the IS-F or a more powerful version based on the Five Axiss by Troy Sumitomo, i saw that car from real and the GS five axiss too, i hope to can see those beasts on the way!

[mmutasim2]

Lol. And I heard they are going to revive the Trueno and Levin. I hope they do that tastefully.

[mmutasim2]

I wouldn't say that. Toyota still makes one of the safest cars around,not including European cars. I understand what Toyota is trying to do. The world is now facing an inflation period,and a financial crisis. On top of that,we're facing global warming. Toyota is trying to sell cars while saving Earth at the same time. Honda is doing the same thing. I just hate the fact that most economical cars are slow.
