1. No clue
2. I'm a domestic guy, but I've owned german, domestic, and jdm. From my experience jdm cars are cheaper to maintain and last longer then most other cars. Plus, most are pretty simple to work on
3. Not a seller also. Both male and female, both young and old? Both rich and poor? I've seen people from all classes own a jdm vehicle
4. Fuel economy and insurance rates
also aftermarket power is pretty damn strong for most jdm cars
5. Because like any sport, if someone likes it, they should be able to do it. Most of the people love drifting because ur basically playing a balancing game between traction and losing control. I think drifting doesn't do anything with masculanity, or power but I do believ that it increases driver control and skill... Problem is that the people nowdays think that after a few drifts they are suddently a pro and they start drifting everywhere
6. Well some jdm cars were designed really well both and because of their popularity and diminishing quantities, people don't like letting go of them.
