why does it matter where it was made? to me "jdm" is something that was offered to those people in that market.. i think it is inconsequential where is was made... to say something is not the japanese version of a certain car because it was made in mexico (just an example) is silly... if it was sold at a dealer in that region then it is of that regions market... regardless of anything else..

i can understand the thought process that if it doesn't have something that makes it "cool" or "differant" then it is not "jdm" but that is just not the case
