I agree, I was really excited to try and figure out what it was when I saw it lol
I'm telling anyone who will listen that while modern cars may be objectively better on paper, these 80s and 90s Japanese cars had something you couldn't measure. I think the same applies to American cars from the 50s and 60s. I dunno. Call it soul, I guess.
I think it's that you can tell a lot of love and excitement went into their design and manufacture
The care shows :) They're unique and have such clear design focus in a lot of cases. They don't feel like they're all the same, just churned out to fill the same basic market need, there are a lot of weird, interesting, thoughtful, fun cars and you can tell someone put a lot of love and passion into them. People who were as excited about their idea as many folks still are about them today!
