If you had to buy JDM...

spacedogg · 03-05-2007, 01:03 AM

Pure speculation boys...but let's assume, hypothetically speaking, you are banned from buying a German car and you have to buy your next sports coupe/sedan from a manufacturer from Japan. Which would you get and why?

Assume you can keep your current E9x as your daily driver. And let's also say you MUST buy a car. You cannot save the money in your bank or spend it on mods for your E9x. Discuss.

Lexus IS-F
5.0l V8 - 400 hp / 350 lb/ft

Lexus LS-A
5.0l V10 - 500 hp+ / ? lb/ft

Mitsubishi Evolution X

Nissan Skyline GT-R

I'm sorry...I burned the image of the Subaru out of my memory because of the ugly front end!

Ok here you go:

I dunno. Ever since they switched to that gaping hole in the front design...I just don't like the look anymore.

just4kickz · 03-05-2007, 01:20 AM

very difficult... i dont see the "all" option.

uhaulball · 03-05-2007, 01:36 AM

subaru isnt jdm.. maybe thats why i think.

i'll take the most normal looking one... the is-F

NaTuReB0Y · 03-05-2007, 01:40 AM

i lold at that

yes the alfa design makes it incredibly ugly but the new one is actually looking kinda stylish. the hatch look is pretty nice to me. that rally wing

can't get enough of it. but then i was a die hard subaru fan before i came here and i still am!

FinInk · 03-05-2007, 03:51 AM

GT-R for now, until the Supra is comfirmed and figures are given out. When that happens and everything is good, the new Supra pls

And I would get the GT-R even if I had the option to get a Bimmer if it turns out to be what the Nissan team is targeting it to be.

they're all normal, just that OP posted the concept pix....the actual GTR product looks more normal, and so as the EVOx....the real thing looks acceptable....

Chris.G · 03-05-2007, 06:38 AM

Mitsubishi Evolution X all the way!!!

kapoo · 03-05-2007, 07:18 AM

I voted the GT-R, but i have to admit that supra looks sexy!!

mava330 · 03-05-2007, 12:23 PM

GT-R looks so mean. I'd so rock out an all black color scheme -- wheels too. That'll tell people to get off the f'ing road! hahaha

Ghunger · 03-05-2007, 12:29 PM

GT-R is gonna be to big. I think that new Evo is gonna be a sweet track car and a blast to drive. Too bad it'll also be a ticket magnet.

yamazaho · 03-05-2007, 12:32 PM

Even though I got the love for Evos, but if GT-R is out, I will take it in a heart beat!!!!

Bimmerista · 03-05-2007, 01:19 PM

Nissan Skyline (missing from the list), not the GT-R, since too few doors for me.

ALPINE6SPD · 03-05-2007, 03:58 PM

GT-R

aapriadi · 03-05-2007, 05:18 PM

nissan skyline gt-r for now although i'll take the lexus ls-a if its really goin into production with same specs and same interior

C///M · 03-05-2007, 05:23 PM

GT-R is my dream

OC Guy · 03-05-2007, 05:34 PM

Lexus/Toyota quality > Nissan however the GT-R is very tempting. I could really go for either.
