Japanese Nostalgic Car

It’s almost Thanksgiving (here in America, at least), a time when we reflect on the things we’re grateful for in life. In an automotive landscape that can often look bleak, what are some of the silver linings and rays of light that make you glad to be a car enthusiast or owner? Or maybe your perspective is that everything is already awesome. We’d like to hear about that as well! Let’s share some high notes to make this odd community of petrolheads feel some warm fuzzies.

But your answer doesn’t have to be from Japan. Just tell us a structure that kind of makes you go “wow” whenever you see it, a testament to what humanity can achieve when we put our collective minds to it.

But what about the cars they shouldn’t buy? What are the lemons, money pits, brands that normies think are cool but are actually lame? We want to hear which cars you warn people to stay far away from, and why.
