Not a JDM guy at all, but how come in the 20teens, Japanese performance has been ever so stagnating?

you missed the fucking point you fucking dick knuckle
entire point of japanese cars is having something cheap and simple to build with. what you do with it is your own fucking business.
my post is made in comparison to the abundance of Turbo'd relatively cheap stuff in the 90s. It seems like everything is N/A now from the country worst at it.
MEANWHILE IN AMERICA...
Camaro ZL1
New Corvette ZR1
Potentially mid engine C8 corvette
GT350
GT350R
Dodge Viper / ACR (rip)
Hellcat twins
I can't wait to buy these cars in 30 years
if you bothered to adjust for inflation, you'd find that mostly everything is as cheap, or even cheaper than their 90's counteparts.
S2000? went for cayman money. even the AE86/SR5 was more expensive new compared to the GT86.
stop whining. everything is fine.
this guy gets it
>Honda

Yeah kek, indded

Japanese have always been copying European and American cars, the technology in the west took a huge sprint and left Japan behind in the dust around 2004. I think the JDM is 5 to 8 years behind Volkswagen, General Motors and Peugeot.
You sound like a faggot who masturbates about lap times.
I'd take any of those cars over your badly made american garbage.
A man who knows what he's talking about.
I have a Hellcat and absolutely love it
ahahahah hahaha ahaha
You can't fool anyone, inbred gook
Japan: Does not eat dog
Korea: Eats dog nearly nonstop with every meal
Korean culture is based around Jacking off to plastic soulless teenagers and playing starcraft in cramped internet cafe and jacking off in the bathroom, and for ceremony they drink wine made from actual shit (youtube.com
Japanese culture is centered around strong work ethic, wonderful animation (which is stolen by Koreans, of course), as well as film, music, and cuisine, all of which are some of the best in the world, and is perfectly comparable to European culture.
Japanese Film Contributions: Battle Royale, The End of Evangelion, Seven Samurai, Godzilla, Rashomon, Grave of the Fireflies, Spirited Away, Tokyo Story, Late Spring, Departures, Akira
Korean Film Contributions: Oldboy (wow 1 good movie, incredible, and it is about a man who fucks his daughter)
Japanese Musical Contributions: Beautiful Koto instrumentals, Some of the best funk and jazz music in the world, highly technical metal and rock music, and exploration into nearly every genre, including pop, punk, noise, avant garde, ska, and electronic
Korean Musical Contributions: Awful K-pop that no one actually listens to, just jack off to plastic girls
Korea is nothing more than an American buffer-zone for North Korea and serves no purpose. The United States should usurp their pathetic weak government.

America beat Japan on their own game
calm down, you weeb
>Expecting any car made in the last seven years to last for another 30
Get real fag.
>getting butthurt this much
I'm not a gook. Koreans copy Japanese cars, it's even less inspirational.
>ahahahah hahaha ahaha
Challengers have by far some of the worst owners
...Now get ready for Chinks copying Korean cars
>yfw it's already happening
Screencap this you fucking weebs
>In a couple of years the Japanese will have copied the Dodge Viper animation you see in your tachometer

Pretty old video but it's still relevant. Japan enjoyed its meteoric rise, but its car industry, like its overall economy, was slowly stagnating and declining since the mid 1990's.
This combined with the renaissance of Europe/US manufacturers took Japan off its pedestal.
Hhahahha oh wow
Are you okay?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Even Nipples know that Jap shit sucks. Bow down to Europe master race.
>when even Jap midgets know their cars are inferior
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
Jap shit garbage
>So desperate he posts a pointless comparisson
Civic Type-R Contiprocontact6 are far inferior to the Cup-2s on the Trophy. The sticky tires give a huge advantage in such tight courses
Put more effort in your shitposting next time.
it's still the fastest 4 door car on the list
"I-ii-0It's not a fair comparison!!"
>Full damage control engaged
It was Italy's game
Nope. That Japanese series always compares cars they think are similar ("competition"). They always make sure the comparisons are as close as possible. What would be the point of their comparison videos if one car was far better as you suggest?
Try harder next time.
>they always make sure the comparisons are as close as possible.
The tires aren't even standardized you stupid meme poster. That's not a good comparison to make when one car has all season tires vs the best sticky stuff Michelin offers.
Hate to break it to you, but apart from the shitty American second gen all Ford Focuses have been European developments.
You're Veeky Forums's resident Jap crap shill, and now you're a Michelin shill?
Have you no sense of decency, sir?
Daily reminder nissan gtr holds world record for fastest volume production car at the nurburgring
Only thanks to European supervision. Japan is out of touch these days, let's be honest.
One of the few times Nissan's crappy "alliance" (purchase by Renault) with Renault paid off
See this, stupid retard?
This are Michelin's Cup-2 Streetable Track & Competition tires originally developed for Original Equipment use on the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Mercedes SLS AMG Coupe Black Series and Porsche 918 Spyder hybrid super sports car.
The other car was using shitty all season tires.
Stay in damage control mode you colossal brain dead shit cunt
Okay whatever you say, Mr. "Look mom I just googled some tires just now for this online argument!"
You're even more autistic than those faggots that masturbate about lap times found online.
In addition, The Hondoy Civic's performance was also inferior in other non-tire related departments. Stop picking those cherries.
Damn, Renault-Nissan actually did something good?
>entire point of japanese cars is having something cheap and simple to build with
Unless you're looking at used models (and you might as well just look at 90s/early 00s Jap crap in the first place, then) there's just less variety to work with now.
japan literally invented modern automotive manufacturing. you have no idea what you're talking about.
>the award for the most embarrassing vanity plate set goes to...
"Invent" gives Japan too much credit. The 1960's-Early 1990's in Japan was nothing but copies and modifications of Western cars.
See video in "Improve/Perfect" is a better word. Nevertheless, the point of OP was that Japan's car-making ability is stagnating and that is definitely happening. Japan is definitely not the big kid on the block anymore.
Toyota basically invented QMS and Lean manufacturing
>Toyota basically invented QMS and Lean manufacturing
>japan literally invented modern automotive manufacturing.
im-fucking-plying
Just because some cars had a similar styling doesn't mean all of them were copies. Some cars have styling that ends up being used in other decades, you are just generalizing the fuck out of everything, like Jeremy Clarkson likes to do.
>Just because some cars had a similar styling
Oh ho ho Japan did MUCH more than that, my friend.
Toyota has a new Supra coming out
Yeah dude, just look at this bug eyed Subaru.
Totally a copy of a European car !
No they imported foreign engineers and had supervision from the ground up. Of course it's much more than "similar designs" (which they had).
>is 4WD for half a lap then FWD until you let it cool down for a few hours
