The 1990s was the hey day of Japanese sports cars. Most of their offerings today are disappointing and too pricey.

This has been my experience, and it's what drove me to buy the 135 last year.
I was shopping for a "toy" around $20,000 and Japan has zero to offer me besides heavily modifying something I wasn't going to enjoy driving off the track.
I haven't been able to convince most of my 'jdm' buddies that the 135i is a really viable tuner option now that they're so cheap, but maybe some time in the future.
