Isn't it kind of customary for various Japanese industries to hold back on their top end / best products for JDM consumption? Mind you, I totally think it is a stupid practice, as the manufacturers would certainly have made $$ from selling those high end stuff elsewhere outside of the country.

It is also true that the NA market often gets stuck with crappy cars compared to RoW.

Sigh...

Premium, 91-octane fuel is required for the Sky’s not-so-staggering 163 hp at 6000 rpm and 155 lb-ft at 4000...  the U.S. version will have a compression ratio of 13:1, which means fuel economy and torque will diminish by about 3 to 5 percent, according to Mazda

Hmm... about the same as K20 found on RSX... with a little more tq, a little less hp ja bor.

Honda has always built good engines (esp 4 bangers), while Mazda's engine tech has always been trailing after the other Japanese manufacturers a bit. But the car is still good mah.

1. Audi R8 V10 TDI Quattro (fast and good control)
2. Audi A6 3.0 TFSI Avent Quattro (sedan feel driving, lots space, best AWD)
3. Honda Gold Wing (touring feeling)

Oh ..  let me "alter" the question a bit ..

Say you got a big chuck of money, say $1M or so, you can spend it on 3 cars, and you can keep the rest of the money in your pocket, but whatever left, will be 50% only .. (say you spend $200K on 3 cars, you only get $400K .. )

And those 3 cars, only for new car, can't be resell.. or if you sell them, you only get 1/2 the value ..  

Something like that, so "Value" will be a big factor too .. and since you will drive them, what you like is a big factor too .. and that is the 3 cars you can drive ..  for next few year.. (so, pratrical too) and need to be stock ..



So, for me ..  I will pick:

1: 911 Turbo S cab, just because it is the question topless can can buy today, no matter what price. (Veyron has targa only, not true topless) and it is "reasonable" for $200K.
(Close call vs the R8 V10 Spyder too .. but 2.6 sec vs 3.7 .. I go for speed, since 2 more cars I can choose! ) And I will pick the egg plant colour!

2: 458. I actually like the 599 GTO more, but again, consider the "value" and 458 is on long waiting list ... if I can get one now, why not?

3: Panamera Turbo/Cayenne Turbo ..  very tough call for this one, since I need a pratrical car for my little baby, and this will be a car for my wife, I would pick the Pana over Cayenne, ad I am not a SUV fan ..  but I guess if for my wife, Cayenne Turbo will do the work better .. either one, is the quickiest 4 door sedan/questiest SUV on planet.


Well .. Keep on dreaming ...
