Os prometo que es cierto… hago una lista de coches y cuando los número… ¡zas!... resulta que me han salido 12+1. Lo iba a dejar en 10 pero no quería quitar ninguno de estos coches porque todos, absolutamente todos, me parecen interesantes. Y todos, absolutamente todos, poco conocidos… al menos en España. Debería decir que son poco conocidos en España e incluso, ser más preciso, poco conocidos en la España peninsular y en Baleares. Porque ya sabéis, y a los que no sabéis os lo cuento yo, que las llamadas “islas afortunadas”, las Canarias, lo eran por muchos motivos, pero para mí uno de ellos es que cuando en España no entraban coches de importación, en Canarias sí. Así que los amigos canarios y del otro lado del charco, en esta ocasión, jugáis con ventaja. Siempre se habla de si los coches japoneses son mejores y más fiables, de que si las marcas japonesas son mejores o peores tecnológicamente y hay argumentos para decir una cosa u otra. Pero lo que sí son, y sobre todo eran, las marcas japonesas respecto a las del resto del Mundo, eran prolíficas. Su agilidad para lanzar, modificar y actualizar modelos no tenía igual. Cuando en Europa la vida media de un coche rondaba los 10 años, en Japón ese ciclo era menos de la mitad. Comenzamos ya y por orden alfabético. 1. Honda City Turbo II (1982). ¡Ojo! que estamos ante la creación nada más y nada menos que de Hirotoshi Honda, el hijo de Soichiro Honda, el fundador de la marca. 2. Mazda Eunos Cosmo HB (1981). Este modelo, ya en 1981, contaba con una pantalla táctil para controlar la climatización, teléfono, un reproductor de CD y el primer sistema de navegación incorporado en un coche de producción. 3. Mazda R360 (1960). El R360 fue uno de los primeros “Kei car” esos mini-coches que permitieron motorizar Japón en la década de los años 60 del pasado siglo. 4. Mazda MX6 GE (1991). ¡Todo el mundo conoce el MX5! Pero, ¿Cuántos al MX6? Cuando a las siglas MX les sigue el número 6 en lugar del 5, la cosa cambia. 5. Mitsubishi FTO GPX (1994). Honestamente, este coche fue un éxito cuando llegó en 1994. A mí no me parece especialmente bonito. Pero ganó el premio al mejor coche japonés del año. 6. Mitsubishi Starion (1988). Cuando comenzaba el ocaso de los deportivos japoneses míticos Mitsubishi nos regaló el Starion que definiría simplemente como un coche “con carácter”. 7. Nissan March Super Turbo (1989). Otro “Kei Car” deportivo, pero con una peculiaridad: Su motor de 0,9 litros levaba compresor y turbo. Gracias a eso no solo conseguía 108 CV, sino una curva de potencia muy llena. 8. Nissan Pulsar VZ-R N1 (1997). Este modelo que yo sepa, no se vendió en España y si lo hizo fue con cuenta gotas. Era la versión “bestia” del Pulsar, con su motor de cuatro cilindros, 1.6 litros y 190 o 200 CV, según mercados. 9. Nissan Silvia S15 (1999). En los albores de los años 2000 y sucesivos los japoneses ofrecían en su mercado doméstico coches que, o bien habían desaparecido de Europa o nunca llegaron aquí. Como el Silvia de la 7ª Generación, que solo se fabricó con volante a la derecha. 10. Subaru SVX (1991). De este coche hemos hablado en otras ocasiones y no es tan desconocido, porque se vendió en España, de hecho, lo pude probar y más de una vez. Uno de sus rasgos destacados es que es un diseño nada menos que de Giugiaro. 11. Subaru VIVIO RX-R (1997). Otro de los “Kei car” vitaminados y que ha aparecido en el juego de “Gran Turismo” concretamente en el “GT2”. Lo más gracioso de este coche es el nombre pues VIVIO deriva de convertir los dígitos de la cilindrada de su pequeño motor de 660 cm3 en números romanos: VI-VI-O. 12. Suzuki Cappuccino (1991). En España cuando se menciona el nombre de Suzuki, lo primero que se viene a la cabeza es una moto, el Jimny o como mucho el Swift. Pero nadie se acuerda de este pequeño descapotable con nombre de café italiano: Cappuccino. 12+1. Toyota Sprinter Trueno (1983). Este coche lo conocí porque lo tenía el amigo americano de un amigo mío, militar de los USA. Realmente es un Corolla deportivo, pero con una línea muy especial y motores de hasta 1.6 litros y 130 CV que iban muy bien y eran eternos. Y por supuesto de propulsión posterior. Conclusión. Hoy estamos “culturetas” y la conclusión no os la voy a dar yo, sino la mismísima RAE que define prolífico como: “que se reproduce o es capaz de reproducirse en abundancia”. Y en referencia a un artista: “Creador de muchas obras”. Y ya por mi cuenta y riesgo, yo lo defino referido a un fabricante: “Que fabrica muchos coches y muy distintos”. Como coche del día voy a elegir un coche muy poco conocido: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution versión Wagon? ¡Me encanta este coche! Con todo lo bueno del Lancer Evolution, pero con una carrocería práctica, distinta y llamativa. Un break de 280 CV y tracción total… un familiar para padres con prisas.

Keis, Corvettes and Cappuccinos We discuss what it takes to bring in a car to the USA that is not already sold here by the manufacturer. What if you want to bring in that Lada, Nissan Skyline, Porsche 959, Honda Acty or Suzuki Cappuccino into the the USA? Is it better to order up a new one, get a used one or get an "antique" one? Can you do this yourself or should you get a broker? What legal stipulations must one follow to get it through customs? Does it take Bill Gates levels of money to do this? In our trivia question, we find out what was the only year without a Corvette? Misty admits to being late, but the test came back negative...

On today's episode, Jason and Derek uncover the fruitful history of Kei cars, the limitations they possess, and the various misconceptions that most enthusiasts have taken as truth. Jason and Derek discuss the differences in character between Honda Beat, Autozam AZ-1, Suzuki Cappuccino, and the other sub-700cc pocket rockets that have become popular 25 year rule imports into the US in recent years. Today's topic also explores how different world governments create (and destroy) the existence of specific vehicle types, as well as the important cars throughout history that have mobilized developed and developing countries. Just like the Model T and the Beetle mobilized the United States and Germany respectively, the Kei car was responsible for getting the masses in Japan on the road while establishing a standard for efficiency and reliability that would eventually define Japanese auto manufacturing around the world. All this and more, brought to you by the Hagerty Podcast Network.

If Eight is Enough, Ten is too many: Jason just bought his tenth car, and it's a problem. It's also slow. Japanese Kei cars are limited to 660 cc and 64 horsepower — but the Honda Beat is an 8500-rpm 3-cylinder with ITBs and sounds like a Porsche 911's flat-six. Just without any chance of a speeding ticket. Jason also just drove an Autozam AZ-1, which has Gullwing doors and is surprisingly fast — so the boys wonder if a Suzuki Cappuccino is just as good? This leads a discussion of slow cars, which invariably means diesels. And a Fiat Cinquecento. Its 2-cylinder, 11-hp just gave Derek some anxiety this past weekend. More so than the underpowered Land Rover Defender 110 diesel that actually managed 70 mph — after miles of full-throttle motoring. Jason once had a W123 300TD Turbo wagon that started, but didn't run. How is that possible? Starting fluid. But the OM617 diesel's loping idle is among the best sounds in the world. And some later Mercedes diesels — like the W124 1995 E300 diesel and OM606 24-valve straight-six. Which is smooth, but slow. Somehow the conversation then turned to Derek's hatred of the Ferrari F355 and 550 Maranello. It's always fun to see Derek miserable, at least for Jason. We suspect the same will be true for you. The Carmudgeon Show is part of the Hagerty Podcast Network.
It sounds daunting, but buying a car abroad is not difficult. Long before they even knew each other, both Jason and Derek had each turned a summer European vacation into a car-buying extravaganza. Importing a 25-year-old car into the U.S. isn’t difficult at all, and duty isn’t expensive.[NOTE: This episode was recorded in early March 2020 before the Coronavirus Social Distancing measures went into effect. We're glad to help stave off boredom while you #ShelterInPlace — anything to keep you home and keep you safe. Stay well, all of you. Love and distant kisses from all of us at ISSIMI.]In discussing what cars are on their personal To Buy lists, Derek and Jason realized that most of the cars they want were never sold in the U.S. — things like the Honda Beat, Autozam AZ-1, Suzuki Cappuccino, Daihatsu Copen, and other Japanese-market Kei Cars. On the opposite end of the spectrum are Derek’s Mercedes 450 SEL 6.9 and Range Rover 2-door fetishes — and where the boys’ tastes overlap: at the Lotus Carlton. Built as a special-edition Opel / Vauxhall Omega, the Carlton was a 177-mph family sedan that infuriated everyone at the time for being socially unconscionable. But with a turbocharged straight-six, rear-wheel drive, and a manual transmission, it’s right up the Radwood-era enthusiast’s alley.The first-generation Honda Insight isn’t, even though Jason wants one. He also wants an original Honda S600 or S800 — but not an S2000. You’ll have to watch to find out why (hint: steering and gearing.) And you’ll hear the outrageous story of the R107 380SL Jason shipped to his dad, which got destroyed by the DEA at the port, thinking it was filled with drugs. So even though shipping a car across the globe is relatively inexpensive, it’s not without its risks. The Carmudgeon Show is a comedic, information-filled conversation with Jason Cammisa and Derek Tam-Scott, two car enthusiasts who are curmudgeonly beyond their years. Proving you don’t have to be old to be grumpy, they spend each episode talking about what’s wrong with various parts of the automotive universe. Despite their best efforts to keep it negative, they usually wind up laughing, happy, and extolling their love for cars. Which just makes them angrier and more bitter.Jason Cammisa is an automotive journalist, social-media figure, and TV host with over 250 million views on YouTube alone. Jason’s deeply technical understanding, made possible by a lifelong obsession with cars, allows him to fully digest what’s going on within an automobile — and then put it into simple terms for others to understand. Also, a Master’s Degree in Law trained him to be impossible to argue with. Derek Tam-Scott still tries. He’s a young automotive expert with old-man taste in cars, and a Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering — which means he knows how to be civil to Jason. Or at least he tries. With a decade and a half’s experience buying, selling, driving and brokering classic and exotic cars, he’s experienced the world’s most iconic cars. And hated most of them.
