"The Crown Someday." For my generation, isnʼt this a familiar phrase? Nowadays, the idea of cars as a goal or status symbol has faded, and people have diverse perspectives on them. 
This is precisely why we should talk about cars now!

My first car was a 117 Coupe, which I bought right after joining the company.
Although the initial round-headlight model was popular, I bought the square-headlight model because I couldnʼt afford the former. Yes, a man should drive a manual transmission. The body designed by Giugiaro was magnificent, but I had to sell it because I couldnʼt afford the inspection costs... However, I later bought a Celica, so maybe I could have paid for the inspection with that money? I just remembered that now, haha.

I had a FIAT500 semi-AT (you could shift gears with the lever like a manual). Although it had an AT mode, I thought Iʼd never use the semi-AT feature. However, I started manually shifting from 1st to 2nd gear to make it smoother, and it turned out to be quite fun, giving a feeling of control. So, I mostly drove in semi-AT mode. Itʼs a nice memory being watched over by both a former and current FIAT500 owner during delivery.

The BEV version, e500, is out now. Personally, Iʼm excited by the high-performance versions like the Abarth 595 & 695.

The e500 has a sharper look, which I like, but it feels like "that kid changed after moving to the city."

Hereʼs my car history:

2002 - Demio, Ford Festiva
Bought a used one with 40,000 km for 95,000 yen

2004 - Mitsubishi Delica
Bought a 4WD for 300,000-400,000 yen after my Demio broke down

2008 - VW Golf5 GTI
Decided to buy it just for the red line on the front grille!

2016 - Mini Clubman
Bought it because a childhood friend became the manager at a Mini dealership

2017 - Citroen DS3
Went to buy a Smart car for commuting, but ended up with a manual car due to budget constraints

2022 - TOYOTA PRADO
An older car but still sells for a high price. I hope it doesnʼt get stolen!

Starlet Turbo. My first car was a hand-me-down from my brother. This image is borrowed from the internet. According to related articles, itʼs considered a classic car. It was the most fun car Iʼve driven, with a manual transmission and turbo, making it feel like an extension of myself. I drove it a lot, so Iʼm used to MT cars. My second car was an MR2, also a hand-me-down from my mother. This car was also enjoyable to drive.
Note: I am not a street racer and do not race on mountain roads.

The fact that your momʼs car was an MR2 is just amazing. But the Starbo (didnʼt you call it that?) is similar to my current Twingo GT, so please try it out sometime.

I drive an Audi A5. I was captivated by Wada-sanʼs sketches and bought it (since itʼs for family use, I opted for the 4-door instead of the 2-door). Even though itʼs a 2011 model, its design still looks beautiful, and I like that it doesnʼt overlap with others.

Thatʼs great... A5. Itʼs not common, unlike the 4. The condition doesnʼt seem like itʼs 12 years old. Do you do any coating?

Yes, itʼs coated, and this photo was taken right after a car wash, so the reflection is beautiful.
