The Skyline GT-R and WRX STI 22B are still JDM forbidden fruit, but one ‘90s Japanese classic we did get stateside was the innovative Mitsubishi 3000GT.
A classic of 1930s automotive design, the elegant BMW 327 survived WWII and Soviet occupation.
Nothing has saved a carmaker and changed a market like the K-Car saved Chrysler in the 1980s as it gave birth to the LeBaron, Dart, New Yorker, and Caravan.
