SETTING THE STANDARD THE IMPORT SCENE IN AMERICA FINDS MUCH OF
ITS ROOTS FROM THE MANY CULTURAL INFLUENCES OF
JAPAN. THE JAPANESE STRIVE FOR PERFECTION AND BALANCE
IN EVERY ASPECT OF THEIR LIVES. IT IS NO WONDER THEY HAVE BUILT PREMIUM QUALITY, PERFORMANCE,
STYLE, AND SEX APPEAL INTO THEIR SPORTS CARS. JDM IS
THE CAR OF CHOICE FOR TODAY'S YOUTH AND AS SUCH
MAKE UP A MAJORITY OF THE IMPORT SCENE IN AMERICA. FOR THE RECORD,
THE IMPORT SCENE OFFERS MORE THAN JUST FLASHY NEON LIGHTS, LOUD SPEAKERS, AND
GUYS SHOWING OFF FOR THE OPPOSITE SEX.
THE IMPORT SCENE IS A CULTURE IN ITSELF
BASED IN AND AROUND MUSIC, CLOTHING, URBAN LIFESTYLE,
IMAGE, TECHNOLOGY, YOUTH, AND OBSESSION. THE
OWNERS OF THESE CARS ARE KNOWN AS "TUNERS" AND ARE
MOST OFTEN YOUNG PEOPLE WITH A PASSION FOR FAST
CARS. THEY HAVE THEIR RIDES TRICKED OUT WITH THE
LATEST GIZMOS AND GO-FAST GOODIES. THE TUNER
CROWD WAS PUTTING DVD'S AND SUBWOOFERS IN CARS
LONG BEFORE IT BECAME POPULARIZED BY THE
AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY. OFTEN TIMES THE IMPORT SCENE HAS BEEN GIVEN
A BAD IMAGE FROM THE MEDIA AND HOLLYWOOD. THE TRUTH IS, THE IMPORT
SCENE INCLUDES ALL CARS FOREIGN OR DOMESTIC AND SPANS ALL NATIONALITIES.
IT IS A CULTURE THAT IS FULL OF LIFE, POTENTIAL,
AND AFFLUENCY.
