GTR Ov'e Corse :lol: [/b]

YEA GTR and SUPRAS

but the best looking car for me is the Honda NSX

What about the S2000? Isn't it great? Or the RX-8?

SUPRAS and GTR ...
for me SUPRAs are first place :)

I think the that the Skyline GT-R's are excellent street machines, but I'd dare say the :mrgreen: Acura NSX :mrgreen: is definity the highest quality Japanese car. I see it as coming very close to Super Car status. The S2000 and RX-8 are probably the current best pure performance vehicles, thouh the RX-8 beats the s2k with it's four seat in practicality. The NSX is more luxurius and comes with a lot bigger status badge. Maybe the GT-R 35 will mix pure performance and high class. Who knows?

Actually I love a lot of Jap cars Like supras GTRs NSXs and S2Ks RX8s Z350s MRSs
I think these all cars are a big success

Oh, sorry I forgot to mention the Infiniti G35. A higher quality build than the 350Z in my opinion, albeit not as high performing. Still, one of those higher status vehicles.

GTR 34 for sure :).

Yeah dude, nothing can beat GTR POWER! R-34 is definitly the best looking out of all of them too :twisted: I can only hope that I can get enough money to buy one, until then, I'm rockin my EVO POWER!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I enjoy the R-33's looks among Skylines the best. I have Sega GT 2002 and when I saw it in deep blue indigo, I realized how wicked cool it looked. :mrgreen:

right now i think the R35 is the bes looking then the 34, 33, 32.

But the best Asian Car is either Sunaru or Evo, i cant decide.

I'm with Supra all the way.....

Too bad they stopped producing them in the states :cry: :cry: :cry:

Best asian car probaly the the NSX. It's really expensive, but i think it's worth the price. I don't know if this counts as real information, but I found out that the NSX is the fastest and best handling car stock from japan from Gran Tourismo 3. It's supposed to be really realistic. Hey, at least i'm honest. I like the styling, too. It's like an available supercar.

I totally agree. Does anyone know if the Honda NSXs are available in the US? I don't think they are. Aw :cry: I'd be able to afford the Honda before I could the Acura, ah well.

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: The NSX is not imported here in Greece!!! :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Maybe Honda NSX is only available in Japan. Grrr, everyone else is sooo left out :!:

Nope, the NSX is avaliable here through Acura. Nothing Changed from the Jap model. It's nearly $90,000!!! It's still cool though. But for 90 grad, I'll take a viper, thank you.

its 90,000, unless you wanna get the NSX S-Zero, which is closer to 100,000 :) Sure is one expensive grain of rice! Pretty fast too :D

Hehe, yes, going slow DOES suck :lol: But no, I was really reffering to the HONDA NSX, I know the Acura NSX is avaiable. The Honda doesn't have QUITE as much power or interiot refinement, more boy-street-racer. They're cheaper too, well, in Sega GT 2k2 at least :P I would think that would have some real world translation as well. 90k is dream car territory for me. 50-60k is "yessir, I'll take one for my midlife crisis"

:twisted: IMPREZAS OF COURSE!!!

:arrow: :wink: IMPREZA007

Ack, you CAN't seriously tell me an Impreza is BETTER MADE than a G35 or NSX(the Honda OR Acura). Yeah, they're killer performers, but not the BEST QUALITY Japanese car.

Kinda more rice rocket, no offense (it's not really a supercar :( )

The Nissan Skylines are the best. So really the question is which Skyline is the best :?:

Skylines are great cars, not as good as the NSX, I stand by that. 8)

Of course the Infiniti G35 IS the newest Skyline in Japan, so yeah, that IS one of the best made Japanese cars. NSX is more powerful, has a better everything and looks alot better too.

They shouldn't have made the G35 the Skyline (or vice versa, depending on where you live)......

The whole design of the car is not the same as the other previous gen Skylines (it's a fastback, N/A, etc.)

It's like naming a Corvette a Viper, it just doesn't work :!: :!: :!:

I wouldn' go THAT far(don't cross manufactuors). Maybe calling an Intrepid STX the new Viper. Thats a bit closer.....The G35 is still powerful though. Mmmmm, tasty twin turbo kits on the way for it as well.

Ok, maybe I went a little too far.....

But I still can't wait for the TT :D :D :D :D

Evo 8 gets mmy vote

:arrow: :twisted: STi gets my vote!!!!

:arrow: :wink: Impreza007

It would be either the Skyline, the Evo8, or the NSX (Acura).

have to agree with a few of the guys above - the skyline (R34).

Skyline or Supra for me :D :D :D

NSX is the best car to come out of Japan in the last decade but the GTR is also up there as one of the tuner cars of all time

Oh crap, I forgot about the NSX :roll: :roll: :roll:

So I guess da best asian cars eber made are da Supra, GTR, and NSX 8) 8) 8)

as far as cars made by asian companies
Best supercar: of course the gtr R34
Best luxury car: the Lexus Ls430
Best suv : toyota Land cruiser ( also the best suv ever made)
Best roadster: Honda S2000
Best econobox: tie between Kia Rio and Toyota Echo
well thats my impartial list 8) :lol:

oh, dont like the idea of naming the Toyota Land crusier as the best Off road car ever! :)

i mean you get a Range rover for the same price and you get all the benifts of not owning a Toyota.

LOL :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: you dam brits and your national pride, The Toyota Landcruiser IS THE BEST SUV ever made, and they are not priced the same it depends on model grade and if you comapre the land cruiser still is better and cheaper, there is something like a 20K price difference between the top of the Land cruisers and Range Rovers respectively(based on North American prices, if you compare the two for the british markets they are the same but hey LandCruiser is better). And if the range rover is so great as you seem to be implying then why are they used so rarely ? because they are over priced and don't get me wrong they do have off road abilities but compared to the land cruiser, I'd rather take that. And why is it that safari companies in Africa choose the Land cruiser over the Range Rover? because it is better. And why does the United Nations use Land cruisers instead of Range Rovers? again because it is just a better vehicle to handle changing climates. If the UN buys hundreds of Land Cruisers for work ranging from The far east to the far west. Then i think i would rather choose the land cruiser for my 2 block trip to the grocery store. The Landcruiser has also been around longer then the Range Rover so there is more offroad experience (range rovers started production in 1970, whereas the landcruiser was introduced 1954) there is just more of a haritage in owning a land cruiser. And whats wrong with owning a toyota afraid of something better then termite infested rovers? :lol: :lol: :lol: I'll coment more later but i wanna watch television now :P :lol:

Hey, guys!!

In my opinion, there is NO ONE "bad" japanese sport car...
ALL they are super-xtreme wonderful cars!!!
Especially the GTRs and the NSXs :)

But...
In the relation COST X QUALITY X PERFORMANCE, the IMPREZA WRX and the LANCER EVO are the best ones!!
Without a doubt!!! :D

GTR-35 all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would go with the Supra and the GTR. But the RSX Type S or the Integra Type R.

The R35's not really for me (my opinion, of course :roll: )

It too luxurious than sporty now......................

I think it kinda lost its touch. And I'm not saying a luxo car is bad, I'm just saying that the GTR started out in the 60's as a sports car, and I think it should continue to be one

Well, we need to actually see what its going to actually looks like first. I don't know of a solid production design yet.

NSX! Why do people suddenl forget this one?

Hmm... this a tough one. All the asian cars are great (excellent quality) but this is my list:

1. Mazda RX-7 and Nissan Skyline GT-R (especially the R33 series) :D
2. Subaru Impreza (all the versions)
3. Nissan 300ZX
4. Honda/Acura NSX and Mazda RX-8
5. Toyota Altezza (especially the 280T version)

Well, that's for sporty cars.

The asian makes are best known for their micro-cars and here's my list:

1. Suzuki AltoWorks
2. Daihatsu Storia X4
3. Mazda AZ-1
4. Honda Beat
5. Daewoo Matiz

And for off-road/SUV cars:

1. Nissan Patrol/Safari (all the versions)
2. Nissan Murano
3. Toyota 4Runner
4. Subaru Forester
5. Ssang Yong Rexton
6. Mitsubishi Montero Wagon

Sedans:

1. Mazda 6/Atenza
2. Toyota Chaser
3. Toyota Camry
4. Mitsubishi Galant
5. Mazda 323/Protege

Now, about the newest Nissan Skyline/Infiniti G35, I'm very dissapointed. It's sure a beatiful car but it doesn't matches the former Skyline look. Let's hope that the GT-R R35 goes back to the roots.

yeh, I hope dey do.....

I don't think the murano is a serious offroad car man its just a "crossover"

But it was put in an off-road -slash- SUV category, so it fits (it's an SUV, right; not really a 4X4, but an SUV...).

yes its an SUV but there is more Utility then sport in it lol

you mean more sport than utility :?: :?: :?:
Oh god, I just ruined the joke, didn't I...

i don't get it. :shock:

IF you want to put it that way, the murano is a poeple mover so its utility and haven't u checked out the ads on tv yet?, most of them are owners loading stuff up

whatever, never liked the thing anywayz.........

Skylines are great cars, not as good as the NSX, I stand by that. 8)



hey buddy the nsx is a great car but overall the nissan skyline kicks its ass by one hell of alot it has better take off duhhh its 4wheel drive while the nsx is naging in first gear while the skyline is already in 2nd gear haha nissan for life baby hahahah lets make that rb26dett engine blow this honda crap away you can say whatever the hell you want i don care cuz i no that nissan and infiniti will always provail

yea i agree.. nissan is the best jap car maker to me..... i mean they got skline... 350z..murano.. and the new maxima.. very nice. and i also like infiniti.... g35.. just wished it was better... maybe the gtr version would be better......if they made g35 AWD that would have been ok too..... i also like the fx. nice suv... and the 45 is AWD... can kik some serious ass.......so overall i like nissan and infiniti over all american companies. well some models are ok..... and most european.. except for the expensive kinds.... in the 100 gs....... but u cant forget the honda nsx and s2000.. cant wait till the R version comes to the united states. and hopefully the new supra would be good... so there are a lot of good asian made cars...... but nissan and infiniti for me........

Again, NSX has much better build quality and status. Has the Skyline ever been offered with Leather interior? No. Which handles better? Well, NSX with it's Middle Engine layout. I really don't care about leather myself, but it's a large factor to most auto enthusiests. Ask any writer from any car magazine and leather makes a car more luxurious and better quality. SO! The best Asian MADE car is the NSX. The FLAT OUT FASTEST? probably the Skyline GT-R 34. I don't know any solid factory 0-60 or quater mile times on eithercar, anyone who can inform us is welcome to. Sooo again, Acura NSX! :mrgreen:

I don't think the murano is a serious offroad car man its just a "crossover"

Well, analyzing it... yes, It's more one of these so-called "crossovers". And it's more sportier than "useful'.

:arrow: THe speed for the skyline is incorrect that is an electronicly limited top speed

hey sr20det, whats with not using any punctuation? Periods end a scentence. Any way, i just like the NSX better than the Skyline. It flows more evenly. And you can get it here in the states alot easier than a skyline.

:arrow: THe speed for the skyline is incorrect that is an electronicly limited top speed
So is the NXS's. We're not talking modified cars here, it's pure production ones. Der :evil: [thanks for the stats Rice Boy] And hey! look! the NSX is faster, so once again, I'll say it(and for the last time!!) The NSX is the best made Asian Car....(ever! in my opinion :mrgreen: )

But................

There are more NSX's than Skylines here in the states. But, it's still not that many (I probably see 1 NSX every 6 months and have never seen a GTR up close).

It'd be a good piece of treasure if i gots one..........

BTW, Thlam: you said that 155's the limited top, so, what's the real top :?: :?: :?:

hmm good question let me find out.....
anyobody have a skyline with the speed limiter taken off?
but a 400hp skyline does 198tops, stock 327hp skyline probebly does around 165-175mph thats just a guess its hard to find the actual numbers unless you own a skyline and take it on a race track

i looked inot it a bit more and found this.....its a guy doing the theoreticla top speed of his skyline and in 5th gear, not 6th he said it cna top 162mph

Im going with the NSX-R all the way baby!!! OW!!..yea :twisted:

hehe, I like this new guy! :D

lol :lol: :lol: :lol:

But how tf did that guy find a formula for finding a car's top :?: :?: :?:

DAMN, that must be some kinda abstract calculus or somethin.................
wish i could do that (man, im only in geometry :evil: :evil: :evil: )

The BEST asian (stock) car is the Acura NSX-R. Period.

yeah its such a beautiful car, and a ferrari beater for fractions less is absolutely great, i'm suprised the design still looks so new even though its a decade old

Which Ferrari can it beat, and in which way?

Almost all except the Enzo and the F50. It beats them around a track (better lap times).

Cool. I don't know much about the NSX-R. We don't get it here in the US.

We don't get it in Europe either. :cry:
I believe it's sold only in Japan. :cry:

dam japenese they always leave their best cars at home, why won't they share :cry: :cry: :cry:

dam japenese they always leave their best cars at home, why won't they share :cry: :cry: :cry:

well thats not always true, e.g. we got the 350Z before they did!

their 350Z is cooler then ours the one they get has the euro style antenna. and didn't the 350z only get released in the UK a couple of months ago? But really they havne't shared a lot of great cars like the toyota chaser. nsx-r and a whole bunch of other great cars

thenone I'm most recently upset aobut is the Civic Type-R. We just get the limp Civic Si. Yeah, I know you can tune the hell out of it, but the Type-R is sooo much cooler...*sigh*

well i have heard that the NSX R and the S2000 R is coming to the united states........ anybody have anymore information about that?

haven't really heard but they are redesigning the NSX so this maybe true. honda is usually tight lip about new models also

man, the civic Si is such a ***** car. It's named should not even be mentioned in this post.

its actually quite a nice car i find, but it should be called civic hatch rather, SI isn't a proper designation for it, it should just be civic hatch. not powerful enough to be a Si

haven't really heard but they are redesigning the NSX so this maybe true. honda is usually tight lip about new models also
Do you mean that there will be a new NSX in the near future??

yup 2005 or 2006 model year, some magazines have reported 400hp+ v6 a

That's really awesome... I do hope they export it from Japan. :shock:

That would be awesome! Put some faith back into humanity for me :wink:

of course they are going to export it from japan! I'm sure the sales are slacking, because for 90k, everyone else is going to buy a viper or a sedan or something. So i'm sure they are going to make a car that will be an extremely tough competitor to the Viper. Think about it. Honda is definetly the smartest of all the companies when it comes to exporting there cars to america.

In that case, I do hope it comes to Europe too... :roll:

LOL viper, what a p.o.s. right now u can pick one u for 40K

Are you serious?? You can buy a Viper for 40k???

I think the first generation model, yes, I think so

Oh you mean used...
I meant brand new.

haha, yes. sorry I didn't specify.

yup used ones are very cheap i've even seen some selling for 29K, the viper just isin't a true collectors car

the best car in the world is ofcourse the nissan skyline next to the 350z and the 240 and the silvia

hehe, I'm glad you like those cars so much, but still....NSX...haven't you read some of the previous posts? Sorry this one has been going on for so long. I know I don't like to read 5 full pages of a forum topic thas new to me :?

Yeah I still choose the NSX too! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

350 Z Fairlady, Subaru Impreza WRX-STi, EvO 8, GTR 34, G35 !~

Am I talking to a brick wall here? The NSX blows those cars away in performance, quality, luxury, and status. Good grief, I'm never gonna post on this topic again!!! :shock:

Ahh never mind Raith... only you and me know the truth! :wink: 8)

Hey, what about me? My favorite japanese car is the NSX too. I say the only downside to it is it's huge $90,000 price tag.

Ok... you know the truth too. :wink:

well mopar if you compare it with say a 360 modena or something more expensive with similar perfomrance its a bargain
