You know where I stand on this topic if you read RFD. I love 90s Japanese performance cars, even !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! about how they were exotic design without the exotic price tag. Yes, I pined for Ferraris and Lamborghinis as a kid, but when I got my license circa 1992, all I wanted was an FD RX7 or a twin turbo Supra or 300ZX. I actually purchased a 1988 Nissan Pulsar NX, which was sort of the poor man’s (FWD) Japanese performance car. It’s so awesome, I had to go to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! to find a good picture. No, this isn’t mine (or maybe it is, hard to tell).

So when I decided to help a certain RFD founder look for a good used car option (yes, he’s looking…again) I came across something. Something startling. Something that will make you question your own existence. Well maybe not, but I thought it was newsworthy.
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! will not help you buy a 90s performance car. Want an RX7 of any generation? Nope.
It’s easy! Let’s go! Oh you want a Supra? 300ZX? 3000GT? Nope! Nope! Nope! (that line is pretty entertaining if you hear it in Aziz Ansari’s voice…see?) So why d oes cars.com Hate 90s Japanese Performance?
You can find yourself an Acura NSX, Mitsubishi Eclipse, Toyota MR2, and a handful of others but these are cars that lived on (sadly in some cases) in more recent iterations. I assume this was done in an effort to trim down drop-down lists and simplify the buying experience? Although one could point out that Mitsubishi still doesn’t have much to choose from, and having a 3000GT entry really wouldn’t change that. I like cars.com, I have found several cars via their website, and I’ve sold several cars via their site. But I guess if I want that RX7, I’ll have to go to a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

Weird. I just picked a few random things myself. No Mitsubishi Starion (though, that might be confined to the 80’s), no Subaru SVX (maybe not “performance”, per se, but work with me here!). What a bunch of jerks.
