Has anyone here who watches anime (that’s not Initial D, Wangan Midnight, or any car-related) try to identify the badge-less cars used in the background?

A sweet second-gen Toyota TownAce (Toyota Van in the US market) in Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid

Then, Toyota Vitz/Yaris and Soarer/Lexus SC 430 in Yuri!!! on Ice

Toyota Aristo/Lexus GS, Honda Fit/Jazz...

...Mitsubishi Colt (?) and Outlander from Bungou Stray Dogs

Suzuki Alto/Celerio vs. Nissan March/Micra battle in Shirobako

A row of Ford Escape and Crown Victoria New York taxis in Love Live! The School Idol Movie

All I know is: PREVIA:

I think it got blown up though:

I love seeing this kind of attention to detail, instead of just generic “cartoon” cars.

And Soarer/SC 430 too!

That is supposed to be New Orleans in 2005, so the Lexus is much more likely, though I’ll admit it is a suspiciously Japanese-looking group of bridge traffic.

There’s a face-lifted Forester XT like ten seconds into Tsuki Ga Kirei. It’s on my watch list this season, but I’m not sure if I’m ready for an emotional wallop just yet. Need some more SoL first.

Also, Haruko crashes into a Alfa 156 at some point on FLCL. Come to think of it, that show had some pretty sweet vintage Euro metal. Naota’s dad has a Citroen GS Break.
