10 Rare JDM Imports That Are Worth Every Penny

Most Japanese performance cars are quick, affordable, and built to last decades. But sometimes, the best ones don’t make it to the US. Instead, they are kept in Japan for the locals to enjoy. Fortunately, foreign cars can be imported into the US once they are 25 years old. That means any Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) car built in 1999 or earlier is now eligible for import. There are plenty of awesome cars to choose from, so we’ve narrowed the list to 10 of the rarest and coolest JDM models ever made. Most are eligible for import immediately, while a handful have a few years to go before you can have one parked in your driveway. If you simply can’t wait, we’ve included one special model that’s always been available in the US – at a price.

13 Pricey Sports Cars and Their Affordable Alternatives

Porsche recently unveiled the latest iteration of the quintessential sports car – the 992.2-gen Porsche 911. We predict you’ll be hearing a lot about this sports car for a long time. Even folks who’ve never seen the inside of the car will have plenty to say about the 911’s departure from its traditional naturally-aspirated flat-sixes to a hybrid drive system. It marks the first time in over six decades that Porsche would equip a road-going 911 with a hybrid powertrain. It probably won’t matter what you think of this shift if you can’t fork over around $115,000 to get one. It doesn’t have to be a sad reality, though. There’s always an Emira for every Evija: A 370Z for every 8 Series. Indeed, the market brims with alternatives that capture these elite sports cars’ spirit, performance, and excitement at a fraction of the cost.

23 Affordable McLaren Supercars Available Today

Forgive me for being negative. But as you will soon find out, there is no such thing as a ‘cheap McLaren.’ It’s a supercar, after all. And if wishes were McLarens, beggars would own supercar rentals. Here’s the thing. Since 1963, McLaren has built a name for itself as a top-tier track-focused performance car automaker, annihilating its European competitors like Ferrari and Lamborghini on and off the track. As such, the appropriate thing to say is not cheap but attainable. These are the McLaren models (used and new) that fall under the bracket of ‘affordable’ supercars (we tweaked the title to avoid any confusion). We’ve also included the average price and reasons why they’d be considered affordable, even though they carry an emblem synonymous with premium automotive performance excellence.
