Today's community question: What things should you never say to a JDM fanboy?
Japan has provided us with over-engineered engines, reliable performance cars and a never-ending list of automotive innovations. So it’s completely understandable that some people, like our very own Darren Cassey, are complete and utter JDM fanboys.
Japan has provided us with over-engineered engines, reliable performance cars and a never-ending list of automotive innovations. So it’s completely understandable that some people, like our very own Darren Cassey, are complete and utter JDM fanboys. The only problem is, they appear to be a pretty sensitive bunch; defensive of all things Japanese (myself included).
So we want to know: what are the worst things to say to a JDM fan? Personally, I hate the keyboard warrior favourite - ‘the Nissan GT-R drives itself’. Those that have actually driven the R35 know that it’s one of the most engaging performance cars on the market.
Let us know your suggestions, and don’t hold back!

“NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT” -_-
“Japscrap” makes me twitch a little…
Silvia’s are rice
“Everyone knows the Germans make the best cars”
This is a common misconception where I live, and it is said with no ill intent, simply as a fact of life. This ticks me off like nothing else.
Additionally, the subtext is that anyone given the choice would choose to drive a German car, and the only reason you wouldn’t do that is if you couldn’t afford one.
Im gonna fix it the right way.
At the end of the day it’s still just a Civic.
“Mustangs are better”
JDM is for ricers. Muscle all the way.
GTRs are driven by computers.
