What makes the Japanese so good at design?

Their fashion, their cars, they add perfect little details to everything they do that makes it that much better than other countries. Everything they make is not only high quality but LOOKS good

What makes them like this? They somehow always manage to add perfect little tasteful details to everything they make, are they actually a very art brained people disguised as robots? What’s the secret?

Wut ?

Autism + specializing in high end markets

Look at all of the little details of Japanese fashion designers (Rei Kawakubo, Jun Takahashi, Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto), the little details on their TRD Toyotas, things like ikebana are all about details etc

The Japanese are art-brained and are not bug people

Japanese cars went to shit. I can imagine India or China producing something like this (no offence) but cmon, they used to make much better cars

Take yo meds

In what way don't you like them? They still seem like good, reliable cars and the economy cars have always looked gay.

I drive the modern version of this car and I will never sell it. I don't care if gas reaches $10 a gallon

Compare these to anything Lada is producing and tell me these aren't better

This is so lame btw, don't go there.

The Japanese are good at engineering not design name an Japanese car iconic for its style that isn't a gtr or supra

It's not that Japan is good at design, but I think it's the result of consideration for efficiency and not getting bored.

Lada doesn't produce shit, dude. Sanctions killed car market.

We have shittons of Japanese cars from 90s. And they still look MUCH better than new ones

>name two iconic cars except these two iconic cars that don't count because I'm a faggot

NSX, Integra, MR2, RX7, 240Z, EVO, WRX STI, almost all the Land Cruisers, the 1st gen Tacoma, the Hilux.. idk I'm probably forgetting a handful

The Japanese are world leaders in design, idk how anyone can deny this, fashion is ONE aspect but they are arguably the most creative in the world. Paris isn’t the global fashion capital and hasn’t been for a while, Tokyo is. But again, everything else they do from their cars down to their stationery is meticulously detailed, everything is purpose. The little TRD color badges on the grilles of Tacomas/4Runners for example. Design is a forethought in everything they do

Same with American cars from the 90s. You used to be able to buy these for 2k. Now one in bad shape is worth 15k

People in my state love this toyota model, there's a big subculture surrounding it.
Moded versions of these vehicles were comonly used as transportation between towns in rural areas.

Take out the integra,wrx sti, all the Toyota trucks for style and your list is ok

Affordable family/kei cars are really hard to make look good and Japan still makes the best looking ones

My friend owns a bike shop here and his work car is a Honda acty, like the steering wheel is on the right and everything, idk how he got it here. But it is the PERFECT small business car, especially a bike shop. Incredibly reliable like all JDM products (Honda in America are kinda mediocre except for their two wheeled vehicles)

You could literally ship this to America and sell it for $100k+ and take the money back home to Brazil so the people doing this must be quite wealthy

I’ve seen one of these in my life, good condition, and it’s at a VERY wealthy house near where I live

He(you?) Said "Iconic". What else looks like a 2nd gen STI? And when people picture rugged trucks and SUVs around the globe, they probably imagine a land cruiser, Hilux, 4runner or Tacoma.. I don't know how much more Iconic you can get

"Iconic for its style" key words are for its style

They’re one of the most metropolitan societies in the world

The Tacoma/hilux are the most stylistically iconic trucks in the world

The old land cruisers are copies of the jeeps of the era, the very first models were literally named "Toyota Jeep BJ"
Also on the topic of Jeeps, did you know the US military M51 was also known as MUTT

Just 3 simple colors and boom, tasteful, that’s what I mean. When the Japanese do it it’s just small details that seem effortless but they nail those details

The jeep is more iconic and most of them outlived land cruisers in the us

It’s hard to claim that when basically any rugged 4x4 at the time looked like that from Land Rover to Suzuki. And again out of all of them, Toyota still looks the best. Not even a weeb, like picrel is a Suzuki and it’s nice but I think land rovers looked better, but Toyota was still the best

Jeeps are some of the shittiest mechanic money trees on the market, don’t care how good you think they used to be, they’re one of the worst makes on the market
