I also view it as kind of the Japanese way. The are much quicker to take blame than Americans.

Once they have to. Up until that point I think it is the opposite.

Maybe I'm wrong, but from the videos I have ssen, it realy looks to me like the GX460 will make a great drift car.

Are you kidding? Japanese rarely admit blame. Americans don't really care other than to be sued. It's about saving face with the Japanese and getting sued with Americans.

What I'm talking about is that their culture is more submissive than ours.

Again, when they have to be. From my (admittedly limited) experience with the Japanese culture the normal first reaction seems to be evasive.

I wouldn't say that at all and I have alot of Japanese expeience with Japanese, not American-Japanese. They tend to be submissive and very group oriented, but they do not like to take the blame on anything. When they have to apologize, it is with a low hanging head.
