WHAT?! Best MOTORing and Hot Version met its demise?!

Best MOTORing


Hot Version

We, JDM fans, know about the Best MOTORing and Hot Version DVDs because these DVDs enrich us the JDM culture. Best MOTORing  and Hot Version are two combos that brings more about Japanese and Foreign cars testing and testing. These were a favorite among JDM fans worldwide.

One time, I read the worst news on the net, saying that both Best MOTORing and Hot Version DVDs are euthanized, which means they are no longer produced because of poor sales. That's too bad because it was announced by 2&4 Motoring, a subsidiary of Kodansha (famous for the Shonen Magazine franchise).

With them gone for good, how can they try the next generation Porsche 911, Toyota's 21st century Hachiroku based on the FT-86, and other JDM and foreign sports cars? That's unfair. We may never see them on Tsukuba Circuit, Fuji Speedway, Suzuka Circuit, Twin Ring Motegi, and other Japanese racetracks they know.

Is this "sayonara" to JDM culture?
