Basically, that makes all Asian cars "rice burners", but not "ricey" until it is distastefully modified by the owner... so the owners imbue their foul taste on an otherwise normal car, and make it "ricey". Therefore, a non-Rice burner can be "ricey".

A good response to your friends would have been "yes, my car is made in japan, so it is a rice burner, but the car is not ricey. Get it right, dick nose."
So when it's a Mexican guy in a Honda with a fart can and an xxxxtra large spoiler does this mean it's "re-fried rice"?

It's technically called the Renault-Nissan alliance. They account for almost 10% of all car sales worldwide combined.

I'm pretty sure Nissan is still in control over Nissan America, since Renault doesn't even sell cars here. That's just a guess though.

the evo is significantly faster in all respects and has rear seats. I'm sorry the Z is nothing even compared to the 300zx.

Not at all. The Z is definitely prettier, but the Evo is definitely more aggressive. Saying the Evo is a "fat chick" is definitely misleading. It would be like comparing a hot blonde with big ***** (350Z) to an athletic brunet (Evo) and the brunet being better in bed. I don't know which one I'd pick here either. Both are good cars period and neither are ricey. I just thought the Evo was a horrible example of something ricey. A riced out honda civic is "rice" or any riced out Japanese, American, German, or Italian is "rice". But neither are "rice" in stock trim.

The G35 which you misspelled in the second line lol. IS the V35 skyline, everywhere except the states and has only been rebadged. To make fun of someone for this is comparable to making fun of someone who badges their Z as a "fairladyz" instead of a "350z". Idiotic comment.

I'm not going to get into anyone with a G vs. Z debate. The G is an all around better car than the Z, but the Z is slightly faster due to the weight difference, but they are essentially the same car. It's personal preference period.

p.s. you misspelled "tight" lol.

Actually, to be really technical, the term "rice rocket" or "rice burner" was originally aimed at Japanese motorcycles. Then it somehow made it's way to the cars.

And to answer the OP's question... no, the Z is not rice, but it can sure as hell be made into it just like any other car.

And an Evo is far from rice.

rHoly **** people let's not turn this into another Z vs Evo vs G etc.

We all know the RSX would win anyways.

Tony (doesn't understand how an RSX is rice)
