Yesterday, as I was trundling through downtown, saturated with sodium and returning from lunch with a couple colleagues, I spotted this retrotastic ode to Japanese motoring.
Fittingly, we were returning from Kyoto Japanese Cuisine, where I’d gone on at some length about how much I adored Japanese culture, but don’t much care for the food. Everyone else had sushi, I found the diced beef and rice on the menu. Hey, if I weren’t a little different from the rest of the herd, I wouldn’t be ogling rare Rising Sun metal.
It was Lapis Grey, one of the four colours (each symbolizing a different season) that the little know Nissan was offered in, and I immediately started sharing my limited knowledge of the design icon with my uninterested coworkers. The only reason they were listening to me ramble on at all was that I’d just given them a quick ride in the Japanese technological wonder that is the Lexus GS450h, the review of which is upcoming.
