>>7696883A large chunk of 30-somethings grew up in the Fast & Furious/Super Street/Import Tuner/Need for Speed era lusting after GTR's, Supras, RX7s, etc.
As we grew up and started finding out about other JDM cars and their history, the models became more popular and in-demand so they started producing more and more of them because they sell and attracted a new generation of collectors.
