Sup everyone. Some JDMs get the spotlight on Movie Posters, some in Video Games, Some on Merch, and some in our hearts (insert gagging sounds here).
But far down the cave of hype and glory lie some pretty sexy JDMs just waitin' for their Prince Charmin'. I am gonna be the Prince.
That, my soakin' panties supra-droolers is THE GOAT. The Honda Prelude 4th Gen.
Everyone’s busy talking about the Civic Type R and NSX, but the Prelude?
This spankin' hot bag of cheetos thang had four-wheel steering in the ‘90s (WTF, Shut up and take ma money). Sleek coupe lines (mmm), comfy AF interior, and a chassis that begged to be fuc- I mean pushed to its GODDAMN limits. Basically, the friend who doesn’t brag but still wins every single-god help us all spankin' hot grease monkeys-game.
🤓👆🏽 “uH wTf, WhEre’s tHE 2jZ?”
Nah, babe — this is a nimble corner-carver with actual steering feel. No endless straight-line bragging for Supra Airlines, its handling you actually have to work for.
Oh ma gawwd, now we gettin' to the good stuff (insert crystal meth here)
🤓👆🏽BuT ThaT's JuST a MIaTa
Goddammit. Frickin' 2JZ suckers.
That's THE S12, not that you would know of, because all you do is finger those tiny-ass japanase exhaust tipples (tips+nipples) on yo Glorified SLOW af S13, and probably slammin' it every 2 blocks (I wAs DriFTiNG 🤓👆🏽) on a random ass grandma because she "looked at your car wierd"
Yeah, I mean coverin' yo lame-ass S13 in 17 layers of rocket-bunny plastic surgery to cover up rust spots and stancin' the wheels so low they look like they're sufferin' from arthritis, Anyone's gonna look at you wierd.
But the S12, hell yeah, Rare AF: check, Miata's Granddaddy: check, Actually good customs: check.
BUt ThaT LoOk's LiKE SuPRa In A TuxEDo 🤓👆🏽
That's Supra’s refined older brother who wears a tailored suit, drinks expensive whiskey, and still knows how to throw hands if needed.
Its got Inline 6, V8, and 2JZ options.
Yeah not a 1500 HP undrivable stupid af I WANNA EAT FLESH kinda lookin monster straight outta frankenstein. Its got class, luxury, and power too. It aint a street fighter, sure, but its got srickin' machine guns under the hood. Wanna say anythin' shithole?
I mEAn SupRA hAS CarbOn Fib-
Yeah shut it, it ain't factory, you know it too, and nobody's gonna spend 150k on stupid ass mods when they can have a classy, sexy, JDM legend.
Evo’s older cousin who taught it everything it knows. (insert proud grandpa moment here) AWD, turbo power, rally DNA — yet somehow, just FRICKIN' somehow, it’s treated like that uncle who shows up at the family BBQ with crazy stories everyone gonna take for crap's worth.
Sure, but the genetics are all because of this ONE legend standin' in the parkin' lot down the tech store's basement probably thinkin' bout how ya'll rookies don' know bout the good ol' days.
The Eunos Comos, dumbass.
Triple-rotor Wankel (insert side-eye) engine. Factory touchscreen in 1990. Twin turbos. It was too ahead of its time, so it got buried in the footnotes while RX-7s hogged the fame.
Tell me it don' look classt af. Sure the RX 7 looks amazin', but you got no reason to hate on this bad boi.
I mEan You'Re KinDA RigHT-
Never left Japan officially — most people outside hardcore JDM circles didn’t even know it existed.
Rotary fear factor: People scared of maintenance costs and rebuilds avoided it.
It didn’t fit in the Fast & Furious drag-strip fantasy — it was too refined, too subtle, unlike some sreamin' 2000 HP builds out there (jus' sayin')
Four doors, 1JZ-GTE twin-turbo, rear-wheel drive. Looks like an accountant’s car until it smokes you in third gear.
Before WRXs ran the streets, the Legacy RS was Subaru’s rally weapon — AWD, turbo flat-four, boxy ‘90s styling.
The WRX gets the fame, but the Legacy was the OG soldier.
A baby sports coupe with big attitude. VR-MIVEC V6 that sang to redline, tight handling, and looks that screamed “I should be in Initial D but I’m not."
VTEC + manual + understated sedan vibes. Pulled like a Civic Type R but looked like you were just going to pick up groceries. Perfect sleeper energy.
Luxury GT coupe with a straight-six and ‘80s/early ‘90s elegance. Basically Japan’s answer to the personal luxury coupes America was obsessed with — but better.
What I'm sayin' is these cars deserve some love too, take away your waterin' sore eyes from the flashy hyped-up af JDMs, and put 'em on these beauties for a min, sure they don' be screamin' 2000 HP and definately don't do 400 kmh, and for sure they don't cost a million kissin' bucks. They are good lads who just got forgotten in the Rush World of flashy JDMs, 0-60 timings, and fake buffs.
Give 'em some love ya'll, give 'em some love.
