Good article. Japan's ageing population is a good reason why demand for luxury cars is rising. The vast number of Japanese who had worked for their wealth are now using it.
Obviously things are changing a great deal in Japan ..that traditional unrelenting patriotism and loyalty to locally made-products seems to be waning ...especially among people with healthy bank balances.
