Just two Japanese cars

[Jaeger Pilot]

I would have liked a few more Japanese cars in a game set in Asia. Lexus would fit perfectly in this game for one. Like the LFA.

I know, right!? Pearls of Asia is the niche car shop here.

Hmm. While I prefer left hand drive cars, it is odd to have so many here!

Japanese? No, Nissan is actually a French company -- Renault owns it now.

Incorrect.

Nissan Motor Corporation is a Japanese multinational automobile manufacturer headquartered in Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan.

The Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi Alliance, originally known as the Renault–Nissan Alliance, is a French-Japanese strategic alliance between the automobile manufacturers Renault (based in Boulogne-Billancourt, France), Nissan (based in Yokohama, Japan) and Mitsubishi Motors (based in Tokyo, Japan), which together sell more than one in nine vehicles worldwide. Renault and Nissan are strategic partners since 1999 and have nearly 450,000 employees and control eight major brands: Renault, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Infiniti, Renault Korea, Dacia, Alpine, and Venucia.

Using facts and logic to disprove my technically true in a certain point of view misinformation? How dare you.

It's certainly quite odd. I do find the car selection to be rather lacking. I mean, there's like, 99 cars but a lot of them are rather on the same tier or rather there's a lack of diversity is the best way I can put it. I found the off-roading selection to be quite disappointing. There are a few nice ones, they dropped the ball from not including like a Bronco or Jeeps in general. I found the majority decisions of luxury vehicles for off-roading was off-putting, especially if you were one to select the streets clan in my view.

I find the lack of the Asian and Japanese markets being severely lacking considering this is taking place in Hong Kong.

TBH, the game should have NEVER taken place in the locale they picked. It doesn't add up, ever, for any reason. The car selection proves they didn't really think it all out.

The locale was selected based on a very specific set of parameters, but not based on the culture or how it fit with the direction of the game world.

It's like saying, that everyone in the Europe are German now, since Germany is a dominant force in the EU.

Last I heard Haiti wasn't a paradise Island for luxury cars owners either.

For the record, Forza Horizon 5 has enough Chinese cars to justify it being set in West Taiwan had the devs chose so.

Is there actually 99? The list I looked at seem far less, and only had 2 Nissans for Asia. I'm sure some more will be battle passed in, but they'll also be battle passed in.

Apparently, 100 to be exact, I've been trying to figure this out too. But based on the loading screens it seems inventory refreshes on the showrooms every so often, don't know how much. I noticed there was a Lamborghini Diablo on a loading screen, swore there was one, but not to be found anywhere for me.

Wish there was more explanation about this unless I overlooked it.

The Asian cars showroom certainly doesn't refresh very often.

This is why I'm on the fence about buying this game, all the cars I've seen are more high end

There are plenty of low end and normal cars. Just not any Japanese ones.
