It'd be even better if you could get the Impreza 22B from japan. Anyway, I just think it's a bad-ass car. Faster than an M3, pulls 0.93g on the skidpad in stock form, 300hp turbo flat-4 (very original), comes with 4-wheel drive, MOMO steering whell, Recaro race buckets and harness, and just a well built car. Of course I'm talking about the 22B. I also like the fact that it's original in that no other car company is making anything similar...so it's sort of in its own category. I guess I'm biased cuz I really like rally racing! But I personally beleive this to be the best japanese car out there. Mazda RX-7 would be my next choice.

Its made by ford, they bought them like 6 or seven years ago. I love the Rx-7 though wait till the Rx-8 comes out. that thang is off the hook. I maybe wrong but i thought Subaru was a European car. but the best japanese car i think is the Nissa Maxima 20th anniversary edition for 4 doors and for coupes its the toyota Celica GT-S. *Quote:* "Everything happens for a reason"

I know it's not the fastest, but it can surely hold it's own. The sleek interior is the best feature. I love the JDM recaros and the titanium shift knob is cool. The b16b engine is not big (1.6?), but puts out and amazing 185 hp. Well, I just love the hatchbacks, and this is the only one I'll ever own (unless I can get a good price on a 99hb w/ a GSR swap).

Since horse power is a derivative of torque (twisting force which provides acceleration), all that matters is how much torque you have. After around 5000 rpms for most engines, the HP and torque curves cross which means that torque changes to hp. This is why all hondas are a little slow getting off the line but pull very hard when the VTEC kicks in. Remember, "people buy horse power but drive torque". By the way, I do realize that Ford owns Mazda. Ford owns a lot of companies like Jaguar, and Volvo. Anyway, I was talking about the RX-7 made in Japan, not the one here in the states.

I MEAN IT HAS BETTER TOP SPEED AND IT KILLS ANY CIVIC, RX-7, WRX ETC. THIS IS MY FAVORITE CAR ALSO BECAUSE OF ITS SEXY TAILLIGHTS AND SIX CYLINDERS INLINE, 3.0 ENGINE AND REABILITY. YEAH BUT THE SECOND BEST CAR WOULD DEFINITLY BE THE SKYLINE, THEN RX-8, STI, EVO, ETC.
