Japan Car of the Year 2024 2025 Ten Best Cars








And the winner goes to Honda Freed.

As usual, Japan wins. This year too.

Car of the year, but (this model/this generation is) not available in Thailand (and probably never), it's worthless to me. --h0ngcom 

Interestingly, Hyundai Ioniq 5 N ranked 6th, much better performance than The Electric Seal !!! (8th) and Volvo EX30 (9th).

From Google, the Ioniq 5 N price in Japan is 8,580,000 yen (JPY).

From CnEVPost, the Seal EV in Japan, offering two variants -- a single-motor rear-wheel drive version and a dual-motor all-wheel drive version -- and they start at 5.28 million yen ($33,140) and 6.05 million yen, respectively.

Futuristic Cars From China You Won't Believe Exist!




Various car brands

Bull In A China Shop - Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races








No. Gran Turismo doesn't have China Shop because there are no Chinese cars playable in-game.

Technically, it is Volvo in GT7 due to Geely ownership, but it is recognized as Swedish in game.

If China Shop will exist soon. What will be the first Chinese cars in GT??

* Geely or its brands - most likely because of Volvo and Lotus
* Hyptec SSR (Aion Hyper SSR) - over 1000 horsepower 
* Hongqi - NFS Mobile appearances
* SAIC MG - Forza Horizon 5 appearances, MG before SAIC ownership (before become a Chinese) had some GT appearances
* Wuling - Forza Horizon 5 appearances, NFS Mobile appearances 
* Nio EP9 - appeared in many games, still the highest horsepower Chinese car as of 2024

* BYD and its brands - very unlikely because many people don't like it, especially people in Japan and the US. It is also considered as the main rival/enemy of Tesla (Tesla is available in GT7). It seems to be being rival/enemy of automakers around the world. (h0ngcom's not-so-special category "BYD vs y byd" means "BYD versus the world".)
