I'm heading over to Tokyo for Christmas and New Years. I'll keep my eyes out for any 5.0s!

I saw a black 2010 V6 in my small town in Korea during the summer which blew my mind. It sure stood out among the droves of Kias and Hyundais!

I have yet to see a 5.0 in person actually. I left home (Vancouver) just before they started hitting the streets. Looking forward to it when I get home in a few months.

As has been mentioned already, there is a consumption tax in Japan based on the vehicles engine (and a few other factors). A fully loaded 370Z in Japan will cost a bit over 5 million yen and that's a 3.7L V6.

One can only hope that they'll get around to it, but I'm not all that hopeful. The 2010s were only available as autos, too.

What, they all look the same?

Heh.

Sorry to bust on ya. It's just that being so generic is kinda like saying Texas culture is the same as that in Finland. That second photo, though -- no further description required -- bwaaaaahahaha, god does that strike a chord.
