What was the Toyota in Bonds "You Only Live Twice" was a white convertable could be a modern Honda S2000 rival |

TBH apart from the celicas and datsuns from the 70's there are not any jap cars that you would call classic...is there? I remember a guy who used to live near me who had a Datsun SSS which was a 2 door coupe |

IanSTI RA had a green nissan cherry back in the early 90's....didnt you mate.. :lol: and i had a beige Honda Accord with rusty front wings in '92 followed by a silver Honda Areodeck which i must say that even with 130k on the clock is probably still the quietest and smoothest car ive ever had. |

I actually think the little old Suzuki's were pretty cool. There were loads of japanese cars that never actually got to these shores too. I think htere would be a big market for them, the Nissan Figaro certainly has a niche market. (even though it's not a remake!)

i'm going to be the miserable bugger as most of the revamped models that have been made are no way near what the original models are i.e .classics ,the new Mini and Beetle for example are just fashion accessories (saw a new mini clubman and feck me it's ugly).Most of the old cars have history whereas the new ones are just names |

I have read nothing but good about the new Fiat 500 and the LAncia Delta is hopeful! |

Not saying they will not be good cars but the Delta is famous for the Integrale rally car the new one will just be another small car with a hot engine. the fiat 500 was originally a small,cheap car for the people you could even buy spare parts from newagents the new one is more expensive than the Panda so just playing on the name. |
