I occasionally get automotive magazines from Japan, and the real hot selling cars (new and used) seem to be the MBZ's, BMW's, Porche's and VW's. Oh, and the American cars are also very popular (Vette's of any year are VERY much in demand and expensive). It seems that the foreign car as a status symbol is popular in Japan.
