Angela Aki and Koda Kumi on the same Music Station show... wow, must be a great episode. Angela was probably on the show to promote her second CD, Today. I must say she's one of my favorite singer/song writer in the world.

Only Music Station would feature something crazy like Melody Road.

naggs is making me hating the Vett. It was a cool car, but more post I see from naggs the more I want the GT-R to trash the Vett. And I used to like the Vett too. Good job naggs.

Seriously, I'm 35 and there's no way I'd drive a Vett. Yes it's a fast car, but I'd be the butt end of many "depends" or "viagra" jokes. I know one guy my age who bought a Vett for the great specs, but quickly sold it due to the interior and the ridicule he got from friends and strangers alike. Since he's balding everyone assumed he's in his 50's while driving his Vett. Like it or not, Vett-lovers, the car is for old-fogeys.

people who like the way this car looks have zero right to complaint about how boring the Camry looks. The last gen Malibu is the worst RENTAL I've ever driven in my life. It will take something special for me to even consider another Malibu even as a rental.

Looks better than the past Taurus to me. The only time I've ever considered a Taurus in the past was when I was looking for a beater for college. The impression was not favorable. I have no idea why they would pick that name again.

It's a good effort, but it just looked so homely. The only time I'll be caught inside one of these is in a rental, I'm afraid.

Wow, is that a racist WWII caricature of a Japanese in your avatar? Are you a RACIST, sir? You sure sounded like one so I'm going to assume you are a bona-fide anti-Asian racist, like many others who posts here. Please at least be honest about your racist leanings and stop pretending you're a normal human being.

As for the topic here, I actually considered buying many domestic product even thought I've owned mostly imports (my first junker was an Escort). However, after reading the racist BS by the domestic fanbois like willem (that's a great Aryan name, btw), I have decided to never, ever buying a product from the big 2.8. I can't stand racists and since these racists have made promoting domestic cars as one of their racial crusades, I can't stand being in agreement with them. It's the same reason why I can never buy a VW after I saw that photo of Adulf Hitler (your hero, willem?) riding on back of that Bug convertable.

The domestic racist fan-tards has turned the whole domestic auto industry sour for me, so I will never buy an domestic car or truck just to spit them. Every time I have a friend considering domestics, I will show them posts from here by these racist douche bags. Y'all are doing a heck of a good job trying to promote domestic cars while being a racist bastard. Detroit should stop paying those UAW folks and give you guys 100K a year.

Or just just old racists, and this blog seemed quite found of them.

What's with this blatant racism here? Autoblog do you have any sort of banning system like other major blogging sites? All these racist domestic or Euro-loving fans are just out in full force when there's ANY sort of news about Toyota or any other Japanese brands. Anything related to Chinese cars too. Don't you guys know that your racist rant make non-racist people not wanting to buy the brands you support? I was fairly neutral about car brands but I find myself staying away from domestic and BMW/MB because they remind me of all these racist Asshats. Good job promoting your brand of choice, losers. Autoblog, if you condone these type of comments, I suppose I have to stay away from this blog too. Pity, this is a pretty decent blog save for the Asian-bashing White Supremacists.

He was probably playing WoW or Perfect World.

It maybe shocking to you but that many Japanese young people don't have the room to spare for a PS3 or even a Wii. A DS will fill their game need for communte AND home. Many people still live with their parents and do not have their own TV (no room), and if you know the average size of a Japanese apartment a normal young person can afford you'll know how precious entertainment space is.

DS is game machine/cool accessory/cheap electronic dictionary/learning tool for the Japanese. There's something for everyone and everyone is buying one.

I've always though crossplayers stands for "cross dressing cosplayers" like Man-Faye. Not a good association.
