japanese cars with euro plates

calvino · 05-07-2007, 05:27 PM

lately I have seen Japanese cars (especially Honda) with Europlates WTF

what's wrong with this people is not a euro car why they are so stupid? 3 days ago I saw a modded TC and he have a Japanese front plate it makes sense, it looks good

Last weak I saw a accord with a Europlate WTF?? I was launching my ass off

and today I saw a Civic Si with a front body kit and a Europlate again WTF?

Euro plates are for Euro cars I don't see why they don't get it

Be nice. They just want to fit in with the cool crowd!

18LLC · 05-07-2007, 06:02 PM

hm... but our car is US spec, shouldnt we put US plates from your theory?

btw, jdm cars don't look good in euro plate, tho. that's for sure,

I just don't know why.

markis64 · 05-07-2007, 06:06 PM

i cringe when i see sti's with them... Yeah sti's are sweet but a euro plate has no business on a cereal box toy.

well, those although BMWs are made (and designed) in the USA. Hondas are also made in Canada ind Alabama. Fords are also made (and designed) in Europe... Would it be weird to have the Euro plate on Ford?

Yup - the Porsche-VAG relationship is detailed here: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...G_Alliance.svg

I'm surprised to see in the OP's diagram -- Renault owns a big portion of Nissan? I had no idea.

ehhhwik · 05-08-2007, 01:27 AM

update, Aston Martin is now owned by Prodrive, because Ford just sold it

Dleo · 05-08-2007, 01:33 AM

i think that charts a bit off, wheres acura, shouldnt that be grouped with honda?

and if im not mistaken, doesnt audi own a chunk of lotus?

not to mention the vw/porche connection seems way off

lotus is owned by a Malaysian state owned car company called Proton, not sure it owns 100% of lotus or not, i am guessing it does

yea, acura isn't listed with honda, and infiniti isn't listed with nissan.

audi is part of vag (as it is listed).

proton is supposedly in two separate discussions with vag and gm.

raquelmister · 05-08-2007, 06:00 PM

i think it's because they were from European decent.

I'm Portuguese and I'd say over 50% of the people in my town are Portuguese too. I see non-European cars with European plates all the time. I guess it's a sense of pride.
