Interesting cars I saw in Japan.
I spent two weeks sightseeing in Japan in October.
I did not see a single S2000 while I was there. But I did see some interesting cars. Imported cars are not common. You see quite a few Mercedes and some BMW. The few American cars are mostly Cadillacs.
There is a class of cars there that is limited in size and weight and with a 600 cc. engine limit. They have proliferated in the last 5 years simce they get taxed at a much lower rate. They can be identified by their yellow license plates.
Here is a such a Honda.
Here is another mini car that has been painted to look like a VW bus.
This car looks like a shrunken Jaguar. I could not identify the manufacturer.
I can't imagine how this Lexus can make turns!
Finally, this is the only exotic that I saw. The owner got in while I was taking this picture and took off making a lot of noise.
