100 Greatest Japanese Cars
 
*** Brought to you by Edmunds.com HERE.

Notables:
  • Scion FR-S / Subaru BRZ placed #46.
  • '04 Prius placed #1.
  • Upcoming all new MX-5 Miata added onto the list due to positive expectations.
  • '91 NSX was highest ranking sports car.

Exciting topic, indeed.

Glad I reread that. In my mind I initially read "100 Greatest Japanese Sports Cars" and immediately questioned as to why the Prius was on the list. :bonk:

1994 Camry and 1990 LS400 should be on there

How about the 1992 Camry at #16?

1990 LS400 is at #13. :)

That list sucks

"Greatest" is relative. I have owned a few of the exact cars on the list and a couple of them were real POS. I can see the rationale for naming them because they were steps in the evolution of the Japanese car invasion into the US market but they were far from a pleasure to own.

Haha, I'll take the 92...
Didn't have a chance to read the list at work, but figured those 2 would be on there.

Just linkbait. Japan hasn't made 100 great cars. 30 tops. The Prius is the anticar.

Stopped clicking after the RSX and Integra took 2 spots when it's the SAME DAMN CAR.

EAGLE5 10-22-2014 05:55 AM

Great cars? Twins, nsx, miata, integra, early wrx, early evo, rx7, s2000, early z cars, gtr, ae86, early civics, early accord, supra, land cruiser, 4 runner, xb, 323gtx, Toyota small pickups, lfa. Not the rsx. No prius, camry, lexus boat bullshit appliances.

Trying to rank 100 cars of various types from different eras is impossible. How do you compare a 1967 Corolla vs. 2011 LFA vs. 1951 Land Cruiser vs. 1992 Camry?

You can't in any sort of meaningful way.

daiheadjai 10-22-2014 11:09 AM

Read the article and you'll see why the author chose Camry and priuseseses for the list... It isn't about performance, its about impacting Japanese cars and their perception in North America
