Cars in general are expensive to begin with in japland >annual road tax based off weight and displacement >Tax goes up every year based of that and age of vehicle>Mandatory inspections + whatever repairs needed are required >Must prove you have some form of parking; even if you own a house with space need to have local police approve it

USA is a physically larger place than Europe or Japan, no shit the larger cars here would not work for the smaller enviornments across the pond.Its the same as walkable cities, it logistically can never happen due to how much distance you need to traverse this giant place.It's why we have Auto infrastructure, to get around this massive place efficiency.
>>28594842>Just don't be poor>dodge
american cars don't make sense in japan because you cannot profit from making cool cars in a place like that, it's got alot of regulations against having fun and having big comofortable cars, you have to build tiny economic sad shitty cars to be profitable in japan, you could not sell something like a 71 ltd into japan because they could not fit it anywhere or pay for the fuel and there's not enough people willing to put up with a >400ci v8, yeah it's cool but it's not practical, japanese people are not fun or cool.
>>28595013>japanese people are not fun or cool.w-what do you mean
>>28594777They're big while japanese roads are small.Japs LOVE American cars though.
USDM in Japan is very similar to JDM in the US. People went crazy over my c5 there
On my trips to japan I saw a lot of usdm cars there. The h2 and h3 hummer seem to be super popular as just about every used car dealer had 1 on thier lots. American full size trucks have a pretty big following too. There was at least 6 tricked out chevy silverados when I went to daikoku PA. The issue is for the average Japanese cars are kind of a luxury item and just basic transportation. A chevy volt is basically a large car there. For a US manufacturer to really succeed they would need to make a Mazda 3 size or smaller car and that car would have to be very cheap. That said USDM car culture does have a very healthy following and you see a lot of US cars at the different car meets.
Why not just ask>why american cars fail in America At that point And the answer is that American companies haven't put any effort into anything that wasn't a truck or sports car in over 30 years
>>28594777SCREENSHOT WITH NO LINK!
>>28595009Check the plate, you can't be slumming it while driving that big of a truck in Japan
>>28595049>>28595062Is it common to convert it to RHD or do they keep it stock?
>>28595518Lhd has the same cool factor to nips as rhd does to burgers
>>28594801>>28594853>>28595013Another thing you guys seem to forget about life in Japan is that it's centered around the train station. At worst, everyone lives a half hour walk from the train station, the only exceptions are if you live out in the boonies, and even then there's bus service that will take you to the train station and you can move from there, and the train station has everything. Supermarket? train station, fishmongers? train station, shopping mall? train station, bank? train station, realtor? train station, hospital? train station, sports arena/concert venue? train station, municipality/government/embassies, train station. Everything is within reach of the train station, which is why they refuse to create any sort of road infrastructure that would allow cars, and why they're so restricted to the point they're much more of an enthusiast or rich family thing than something anyone needs to move around in, Cause everything is based on public transportation, and everything is either in, or right next to, the train station.
>>28594777American cars fail in America as well, they are just so unreliable.
>>28595861Sounds based. I'd love to not need a daily driver.
>>28594839>>28594834oppressive government :(oppressive government (japan) :0
>>28595861They really do got their public transit on lockDid a 2 week vacation and it was very easy to get around
>>28595873>Sounds based. I'd love to not need a daily driver.Did that for a year in Europe and not paying for a car saved me enormous amounts of money. I ended up walking a lot though, so I lost a lot of time to walking or waiting for a taxi.
>>28595873Something like 40% of people in tokyo don't even have a license. Their public transit is godly, and owning a car is miserable
>>28594853the size of a country has nothing to do with any of that, only the design of cities, which the US has failed at spectacularly for the last 70 years or so. china is technically larger than the USA yet has amazing public transit, walkable cities and a massive high speed rail network>b-but authoritarian government that's the only way they can do that!the richest country in the world should be able to as well.
>>28596079>the size of a country has nothing to do with any of that,It's a nigger problem. That's it. That's literally all it is.New Yorks subway system isn't that dissimilar to Japan's just japan doesn't have a bunch of worthless homeless psychotic minorities
>>28594777>well?1: Our cars tend to be big.2: We don't have the parts supply chain in Japan.3: Japanese tend to buy their own products because of nationalism.4: The Japanese make really good cars themselves.
>>28595861japan is the worlds only 0th world country
>>28594777If I recall right, you get taxed heavily if your vehicle is beyond a certain size. Even a basic Ford Taurus was considered a luxury car in the 90s because owners would be rich enough to cover the taxes.
>>28595518Nips import German Mercedes specifical because they are lhd
>>28596223Not for much longer
>>28596223They either need to start fucking or allowing immigration, cause that ship is going down with the birth rates being what they are.And knowing how xenophobic and racists the japanese are I would not be surprised if they declare some sort of state of emergency and force every able bodied woman to have a child, a scenario just straight out of fucking hentai, international image be dammed
>>28595503dodge products are for poors I don't care what country you're in.
>>28596409>start allowing immigrationFilling Japan with non-Japanese people will not help Japan.
>>28596483They're importing Indians by the boatload sadly Most mcdonalds and 711s are nothing but street shitters
>>28596497Yep, saw it myself. At least they don't seem to have the god awful muddy accent the English-speaking ones do.
>>28596409i think Japan should start allowing African immigrants. a lot of Japan's population is old whereas a lot of African countries have a majority population of just 18-20. start giving these guys a path to construction careers and other trade jobs.They can also breed the japanese women. since most jap men would rather watch anime anyway. >>28596483They can become japanese citizens and be welcomed as if they were the country's own. there doesn't have to be "non japanese" people. anyone who acquires japanese citizenship should be treated like everyone else there.
I, too, read the Japan threads on /pol/.
>>28594777Japanese streets and parking spaces are really tiny, so American-sized vehicles don't really fit.
>>28597437god i wish i could drive a B-body 80s era chevy caprice through there. EVERY nipponese anime-like school girl would come out of the wood work to suck my big american pp.
>>28594777As an American the only two reasons you'd ever choose an American car over a Japanese car are because you wanted a huge truck or because of a "Made in America (actually Mexico)" fetish.
>>28595534can only imagine the reactions i'd get if i ever took my old barge over to the US since it was originally lhd, then factory converted to rhd when it got shipped to aus.
i saw an old corvette when i was in japan, thing was shaking the sidewalk.
>>28594801so only richfags drive those GTRs in japland?
>>28594853I live in australia which is just as big and even more empty than the US and we have never needed gigantic cars. We have no problem having public transport.Size has nothing to do with how viable public transport is, look at russia. I saw a video where a guy literally able to get to an abandoned siberian town by bus.
>>28594777Chinks can't afford them. The third world has outrageous taxes on anything that makes reasonable power.They drive their 1.0t shitbox and live in a hive and tell us how great it is to get a free education that nets them $35,000 USD yearly.
>>28596603Congratulations, this will undoubtedly be the most Jewish thing I'll read in the month of September.
>>28594853>no shit the larger cars here would not work for the smaller enviornments across the pond.This isn't an actual problem in Europe, shitty dutch youtubers and bongs over inflate this "issue". You can find RAMs and F150s on our roads, it's just they are bought by either wealthy farmers (people who need them) or show offs,they just aren't considered a "daily driver".Yes, partially because most Europeans living under the Artic Circle don't need to travel an hour on the highway to get to the local department store, but it is not like American cars are impossible to own.The main reason I would say that American cars falter in Europe is because poor people buy shit that is cheap to maintain, so old VAGs,while wealthy people buy brands, and American car brands haven't had any prestige in like 50 years.
>>28596603As a white South African, I agree. I'd move to Japan and even work for free if the government guaranteed me a small Japanese waifu like Mitsuki Nagisa
>>28597954white people in south africa are already privileged. only the black ones should be given a path to residency in Japan.
>>28597827That's because in our corner of the world, 35K is like you making 350K in the US. We pay about 10 dollars for a week of groceries, why do you think you have so many illegal spics in your country working for minimum wage, and still sending money back to whatever shithole country they come from like guatemala? and building houses from scratch? Don't pretend you don't know this, why the fuck do you think your amerifat people come over here for tourism? cause that exchange rate is a wonderful thing for you pale white landwhales.
>>28596088Always fail to mention this with there bait post. And forget Amsricans have the freedom to choose how to move around.
>>28598001Lol he madPost house ownership and vehiclesGot a house and new truck with an entry level engineer job from second rate school
>>28596088>New Yorks subway system isn't that dissimilar to Japan's just japan doesn't have a bunch of worthless homeless psychoticto be fair japan does have a lot of worthless homeless psychos they just know to stay away from the normies, but most unlike america is that jail is not a suitable alternative to sleeping on the street.
>>28598117hard to believe japan has homeless at all. that can't be true, right? they should have some of the greatest social services in the world. not to mention you can rent an apartment for the USD equivalent of $500 a month or something.so many NEET kings in Japan who sit in their pods and just consume anime.
>>28597824Gtrs don't have large displacement and aren't heavier than the average car.
>>28598148it's mostly the elderly but there are younger people too, the cops police them effectively and force them out of the public eye. panhandling like you see in the usa with dudes standing in the middle of the road or out on the sidewalk with signs is explicitly illegal. in some places it's also illegal to give money. japan isn't all squeaky clean, they have had problems with chinks working with the yakuza importing meth and other narcotics for decades.
>>28598117>to be fair japan does have a lot of worthless homeless psychosNo it doesn't. Japan's homeless rate is famously the lowest in the world.In my 2 weeks there, I saw 1 guy that might have been homeless.
>>28594777they are unreliable ?
>>28596223Didn't they just announce that they're importing half a million streetshitjeets? It's over, Japan fucked themselves. They already had a cockroach problem, and they doubled down to make it worse.

>>28598166>No it doesn't. Japan's homeless rate is famously the lowest in the world.>In my 2 weeks there, I saw 1 guy that might have been homeless.you can have really low numbers if you shame people into not reporting that they existjapan has an unusually high proportion of "disappeared" people which are by and large the homeless you say don't exist.the bullshit you're parroting is exactly the image they attempt to show to foreigners. in reality it is as dirty under the surface as anywhere else, possibly even moreso.

>>28598229>muh conspiracy Again, I didn't see homeless people when I was there. That's all that really matters. You can pretend there's an underground civilization of homeless japs, I don't really care. Their society works because they're mostly niggerfree. For now.
>there's some dude baseding out right now in japan because he just saw a 69 camaro or something>japanese people are talking about UDM LEGENDS the same way people talk about mark iv supras
>>28598235>>muh conspiracyit's not a conspiracy, it's evidence of their culture at work.the cops are strictly tasked with enforcing public harmony and in doing so force the homeless people into hiding, which suits the hobos just fine because everyone leaves them alone anyway, so they just do it. you don't see them because they know where to hide better than a 2-week amerifat tourist knows to look. the fact you saw one even proves conclusively that there must be more.i was literally just watching a program on nhk world about this don't even try to pretend you are a more learned weeb than me
>It's not a conspiracy>I have no proof and have never been there and have absolutely nothing to support my mole people claim, but they exist!

>>28598235blacks don't cause homelessness or any societal decay. if anything, they would bring a unique take on the traditional japanese cultural perspective.

this guy's still going on about the japanese shadow government kidnapping homeless people and throwing them into an underground lair?
>the japanese government would never ever lie or twist facts
>>28598243>it's not a conspiracyit's a claim that the government as a whole made a secret plan to hide all of its homeless people with literally no evidence.that is quite literally the definition of a conspiracy theory you schizophrenic freak>>28594777roads in japan are on average a full foot and a half narrower than in burgerland. there are some roads that you can barely fit a kei truck down.
>>28598329>it's a claim that the government as a whole made a secret plannow you're just being a disingenuous kike putting words in my mouth the japanese police do indeed have a policy to politely ask homeless people to not be visible in public spaces.absolutely nobody claimed the japanese homeless were being rounded up, but there is a significant discrepancy in the suspiciously low amount of japanese homeless (a self reported statistic, influenced by social pressure and the above police policy) and the humongous amount of people who literally just blip "out of existence" every year. obviously a large amount of japanese "disappeared" people simply become homeless and stop participating in society thereby qualify as having disappeared, so there are far more than barely 2000 japanese homeless.
>>28598335>now you're just putting words in my mouth*proceeds to say those exact words phrased slightly differently*lolagain anon what you're describing is the dictionary definition of a conspiracy theory.
>>28598344the fact you think japan is some kind of unnaturally squeaky clean tradcath anime theme park where nothing bad ever happens, basing this on a mere 2 week visit, is distinctly more of an unhinged and psychopathic take than anything i have said. everything is done to promote a harmonious society. there are many unwritten rules and what westerners would describe as backroom conspiracies. that's is indeed the way it works over there. if anything it speaks to the effectiveness of their way of life as even foreigners like yourself are fooled.

>>28598386not really. i'm not japanese, and japanese women don't belong to me, or anyone else. so i can't be "cucked" out of them. its not cuckoldry at all because they're breeding the women that japanese men aren't breeding. they aren't taking married women.maybe stay off /pol/.
>>28598391so you just have a black dick fetish?
>>28598397given how much this board mentions black people and dicks whenever cars they don't like are brought up, me mentioning simple statistics of average dick size isn't anymore of a fetish than you would have when you bring up black people when a dodge charger is posted, or dicks when a truck is posted.i'm no different than the rest of /o/, way more tame, even.

>>28599497the hilux used to be available there, dunno how popular it was though
>>28595013>>28595861I live in the boonies here. You definitely want a car (hence everyone owns one). Otherwise it's an hourly bus to the train station that has 1 line that runs hourly to a 10-15min walk to the supermarket. Or you can bike a few miles to the other supermarket. The problem with american cars in Japan, is that they simply aren't competitive. Japs love a lot of American cars like mustangs, corvettes, etc. And for sports cars, American cars are starting to make in-roads IMO because high HP jap sports cars haven't advanced since 2007 (r35) and other people just like americana and they can afford it.But for the basic daily drivers & trucks that make up 99% of cars here, it makes no sense to buy american unless you want to throw away money for looks, and most people can't afford to do that. So they buy a kei truck for $9000 (new), or a kei car for $10-12k (new), or they buy used. Used, you can get an insane amount of value here because everything is low-mileage and well-maintained. The shaken (inspection) price differences, the extra taxes per year, etc. are all pretty minor to me because it's only an extra $100-200/year or something for a nicer car vs a mini kei car. But for people working on a budget of $2,000/month I've been told that adds up and they can't afford it, or it just makes more sense to rent periodically (costco runs 2x/month, trips, etc.) and use public transportation for day-to-day stuff for the city-dwellers.
>>28596409They've already accepted millions of immigrants, and it's destroying the country. Get it through your fucking thick skull, immigrants don't save things. 1.) They literally destroy your race via replacement2.) They don't even bring in economic benefits, because their criminality, scamming, and low productivity mean they're a net drain (inb4 someone tries to claim that africans and indians are just as low-crime as native japanese)
