We call them JDM, but in the United States, they call them imports. The term can mean any car make that isn’t American, but when you say the term “import” to a gearhead (the American term for “petrolhead”), they usually think Honda, Nissan, Toyota, Subaru or Mazda. The Japanese makes still dominate the import scene, but slowly the Koreans are making their way into the conversation, particularly since the introduction of the Hyundai Genesis Coupe.
In this edition, I list my 10 favorite import tuner cars.
