What’s this? A new review segment? Yep. To vary things up a little, we’ll be getting behind the wheel of some lesser-seen cars, many of which were offered strictly within Japan’s borders. While “JDM” is a term that’s often banded around with reckless abandon, we’ll do our best to limit it to cars that wouldn’t usually be found in the U.S. and Europe – of course, that rule may be bent depending on what crops up (think tuned Supra, RX-7, et al.

AAAaaarrrgghhh… That is what happened in the first 20 seconds of my passenger ride in the Ford SuperVan 4.2. My brain was still parked on the start line but my eyeballs had jumped out on stalks as the battery-electric speed machine launched with the ferocity of one of Elon Musk’s Falcon space rockets. We were at 240km/h in less than five seconds and that’s not the worst of it.

Apart from a different material for the centre console and some different exterior badging, however, they’re indistinguishable from the EX.

But the one thing it never was, at least not officially, was a convertible. You could buy a convertible version of the Dodge Coronet, the Charger’s less glamorous brother, and even equip it with the same big-power 426- and 440 cu-in V8s.
