They sell a version of the X-Trail with an SR20VET making like 280 hp.

 

Yep...sorry, I missed that. Just added it.

It's cool how many turbo and AWD models Nissan sells over there...but manual trannies are few and far between for some reason

I really like the Primera...that thing has some style. The Elgrand is pretty cool too...RWD minivan!

 

hehehe, funny this is coming from the man that said, "No such thing as a SR20VET." back in the S15 Nissan Silvia thread. just messing with ya man

 

Mazda doesn't have alot of JDM only cars:

Mazda Demio

 

I've heard that in Japan automatics are by far the norm, even more so than in the US. Its a shame I suppose, considering how many nice cars they have over there. But I guess in a way it makes sense. If you've ever driven in a place like Japan you'll know why.

BTW, good post topic.
