You know where I stand on this topic if you read RFD. I love 90s Japanese performance cars, even wrote an article about how they were exotic design without the exotic price tag. Yes, I pined for Ferraris and Lamborghinis as a kid, but when I got my license circa 1992, all I wanted was an FD RX7 or a twin turbo Supra or 300ZX. I actually purchased a 1988 Nissan Pulsar NX, which was sort of the poor man’s (FWD) Japanese performance car. It’s so awesome, I had to go to cardomain to find a good picture. No, this isn’t mine (or maybe it is, hard to tell).
So when I decided to help a certain RFD founder look for a good used car option (yes, he’s looking…again) I came across something. Something startling. Something that will make you question your own existence. Well maybe not, but I thought it was newsworthy.
Cars.com will not help you buy a 90s performance car. Want an RX7 of any generation? Nope.
It’s easy! Let’s go! Oh you want a Supra? 300ZX? 3000GT? Nope! Nope! Nope! (that line is pretty entertaining if you hear it in Aziz Ansari’s voice…see?) So why does cars.com Hate 90s Japanese Performance?
UPDATE: An eagle eyed reader over on our Kinja page pointed out that you can navigate your way through cars.com’s advanced search section and find the $50,000 Supra of your dreams.
