Today's community question: What things should you never say to a JDM fanboy?

05 Apr 2016

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!

‘LS your RX7”

Jap cars are just recycled coke cans

The Prius is much better than your “enter JDM legend name”

European car companies usually started out by one man wanting to make a dream car. Japanese car companies usually started out by a group of people wanting to make money, and it just so happens that instead of computers, telephones or electric razors, they started making cars.
