<p class="MsoPlainText">The reference to R&T below made me browse around a bit, and I saw this article that was interesting about badging on Japanese cars:

<p class="MsoPlainText">The article concludes: "And that's pretty much why a JDM Juke or Fairlady Z is always going to be a "JUKE" or "FAIRLADY" no matter if it'll never leave Japan. It's because the Japanese respect and honor the origin of things."<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">The morning e-mail from R & T has a link to a slideshow:?22 of the best Japanese sportscars ever made? featuring their picks of thr top Japanese sportscars. They're listed in chronological order and start with the Fairlady, in 1959 --
though the picture is of a mid-'60s model in SCCA racing form. They list the 510, too, which, though a car I love, I don't consider to be a sportscar, per se.<o:p></o:p></p>
