Thoughts on the State of the Import Scene

Waiz · 11-08-2010, 07:42 PM

The import scene has changed alot as people have gotten older and moved onto other things or out of cars all together. I'm starting to notice more and more people getting into the old-school JDM scene as something different. I myself will have most likely built my last modern car for some time and will focus on an older cars for my next projects.

In respect to the younger scene they are definitely infusing new interest into the market but have a form over function attitude and a short attention span. Those who are flighty will most likely move onto something else while others will start to embrace the technical and functional side of the scene.

Overall, I definitely think the economy has taken a profound toll on the industry and it will take a few years to recover anything close to what we had prior.
