Just like the recently concluded SEMA Show (Specialty Equipment Market Association) in Las Vegas, it came as no surprise that the Toyota 86 and the Subaru BRZ dominated Japan’s foremost aftermarket show, the 2013 Tokyo Auto Salon last week at the Makuhari Messe Convention Center.
The whole world is talking about TomKat’s (Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes) sudden divorce after five years of marriage and a daughter. Dirty details on the probable epic custody and divorce battles are filling up most of the news channels, from Tom’s superstar controlling ways and Katie’s fleeing to New York.
The sky was gray and cloudy, rain was pouring and a strong wind was blowing at the Subic International Airport last Saturday afternoon, but the threat of Typhoon “Butchoy” didn’t dampen the excitement and enthusiasm on the ground.
Coming from the motorsports industry, we have always believed there is a shortage of good quality and affordable sports cars. Especially, for a country that is known for its crazy driving, the choices are limited.
Tothe casual observer, the 86 looks to have a lot in common with typical sports cars and performance cars coming out of Japan, making performance relatively easy to access, with the cars of today more comfortable to drive.
