Yes, I got that, but you didn't answer my question. Do you find the cars I listed boring and if so, can you elaborate? I'm asking simply because I'm curious and a bit shocked.

They are... well, meh. I think I've said before (in this thread) that I meant most JDMs are boring. Not every single one. I like some, like the Gen1 NSX, the R35 GT-R, or even the STI and Evo

"Heavier" is relative. Virtually all kei cars are still very light indeed. The S660 pictured above is only 70kg heavier than the Beat was a quarter-century ago and the current-gen Daihatsu Copen only around 20-40kg heavier than its 15-year old predecessor - yet both are turbocharged, so real-world performance will be better even if the quoted power output remains the same. From what I can tell online, the highest-selling kei car - the Suzuki Wagon R - is pretty much identical to how it was two decades ago - 750kg.
In a broader sense though I don't think the power output does need looking at. Kei cars still effectively do their job as well as they ever have - possibly better, since they're designed to be city cars and they're more economical and cleaner than ever, without being any bigger, which is surely priority number one for a city car.
The only scenario in which they might require more power is if Japanese manufacturers decided to homologate them for use outside Japan, and even then only for particular models. I suspect much of the world wouldn't get out of bed for an S660 with less than about 100bhp (make that 150bhp in the States, where people have spent quarter of a century saying the MX-5 is too slow).

Okay, why do you think they're boring?
Yeah, I quoted that before I saw your next comment. I kept the question as I thought it still needed.

I don't think they are quite interesting. That's just my opinion. I respect people that like JDM's though. Except for ricers...

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the 996 generation of 911's headlights. Pre-facelift or facelift.
In fact, I sorta like them more than any other 911s.

I think the only fault with the egg lights were that Porsche used them on the cheaper Boxster as well, which 911 buyers didn't appreciate.

Right, and I think that explains why they were so quick to change them with the face-lifted 996. Seemed people still didn't like them though.
All the better for me since I want a 911 with the Boxster headlights. The universal hatred of them shows in the extremely low prices.

They're going to be really upset when they find out almost everything forward of the front screen is shared with the Boxster. But what ever you do. Don't. Mention. The shared. Engine!!!!!

The McLaren 12c is probably the most beautiful McLaren they've ever made. It looks so clean for a supercar.
Also, this portion of the 650s looks like some sort of bird rearing it's head. Also, the white jutting in to the headlight makes this specific McLaren quite an ugly one IMHO.
