Okay, it may be silly to do a Korean car round, but I don't want to count the fastest-growing nation out of the competition. For the most part, it is the same rules as always... Nominate, discuss, and then we vote after three days. Keep it clean, keep it simple, and if you must make it a flame war, atleast keep it funny (lol).

Secondly, voting for Best Japanese Car shal commence. The final round shal consist of:
- Nissan Skyline (all generations, all variants)
- Mazda MX-5 Miata
- Honda/Acura NSX
- Subaru Impreza (all variants)
- Datsun 240Z

YOU HAVE THREE DAYS TO VOTE AND NOMINATE BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ROUND

Although I was origionally a voter for the 240Z, I've changed my mind and instead have gone with the Mazda Miata. Over the past few decades there haven't been many cars to completely "jumpstart" an entire segment that had been dead for so long. The Miata brought back cheap fun with an affordable sportscar that had not only great capabilities on the road, but even better on the track.
To this day people still refer to the Miata as one of the golden standards of automobiles, as it is fun in it's most baisic state. An open top, manual transmission, nicely powered engine, confident chassis, etc. Although 1st gen Miatas had a much larger impact on the industry as a whole, causing BMW and Honda to join in the fun, the newest models continue the origional's cause and continue to set standards for small sportscars around the world.
Added to that, the car still looks great, still doesn't cost a whole lot, and is still a blast to drive... Added to that, it is popular all over the world, not just in the US or Europe... But everywhere. Thats what makes a great car, one that has been so widely accepted as a great car.
Thus, I vote for the Miata:

As for the Korean car, I need to think for a few moments...
