So you think sports cars are cool?
A light-hearted take on today's boy-teasing, pants-wetting machine vs. the uptight MPV, and a sign of changing times. Our foreign correspondent, Andrew, gives us "da shite.."
Every time I mentioned to friends that I was contemplating the purchase of a very powerful Mitsubishi Evo, they frankly looked puzzled and reminded me that a people carrier would be about the same price, even though I don’t have children.
After weighing the options and realizing that the car was primarily for 2 people and I really don’t have a lot of friends, a people carrier was not required. However, not wanting to appear totally friendless or indeed socially awkward and not without a little pressure from my wife, I didn’t buy a 350z, RX8 etc. In fact I bought something very ordinary but more about that another time.
Naturally, I’m not referring to every Japanese performance car owner but just to a large group of people that really destroyed my image of fast cars.
Anyway I haven’t lost my love of performance machines and I don’t subject myself to following trends but it is refreshing to see a totally different take on automotive cool. Of course tastes change over time and Japan being a faddish market, surely sports cars will make a comeback.
