Autoevolution has this story up about it's photographer catching a guy who presumably is noting down specs of cars. Many of them. I mean, he casually lets the photographer take pictures of him and his checklist (which raises my magnifying glass and curiosity), but he's doing something.
He's Japanese instead of Chinese so what could he be possibly upto? That checklist is pretty detailed. So what is he doing? Any ideas?

If he was from China, then I would suppose he was trying to do their copying thing again. Since he's not, I have no idea

Measuring wheel arches and headlight openings? Aftermarket bodykit molder perhaps?
(I have no idea, just bored at work)

That is one thorough list. Not one damn clue as to what he is up to, I see BMW headlights, VW, and he is measuring a Benz. So maybe hired by a new German brand or obscure to measure the attention-grabbing parts of different cars?

Yeah, I thought so too. Maybe an adjudicator for the show, etc but his checklist is all in Japanese. Must be something interesting thing for us to know.

This sounds more like it since he is giving them grades A - F.
Or maybe even for the Auto Show itself to see which brands are up-to-snuff on their show vehicles.

All I know is that he has what looks to be one of those pens where you can click down different colors. Haven't seen one of those in a long time.

I'm just so happy there's Corvettes to watch come out of a sinkhole on my PC.

We use to have a lot of "those" emails back in the office. Best thing was, if someone caught you, they'd be pissed because you forwarded that one but not this one. All of the bosses and all. The lot. Except the ladies.

Seems like he is doing very detailed benchmarking - it's not uncommon for designers or design engineers to benchmark show vehicles and inventory what was good/bad but this guy just seems to be doing it in an obsessively methodical fashion.
Also - the fact that he is Japanese is isn't relevant to whether he works for a Chinese manufacturer. The Chinese are hiring talent from all over (including the US).
