Car Stuff: tonight we have the Nissan Skyline R34 GTR
I'll put it simply for now, it's the best Asian Car money can buy. It's fast, not sure of the exact figures, but trust me, it's fast. It's Japanese, so it's reliable. It's well set up and very stiff, so it handles like...like...really, really well. It's clever too. It's all wheel drive, sometimes. Most of the time it's rear wheel drive, but if the front ones are running out of grip, they'll get some power too.
It has it's problem though. It was nevery officially imported to the states. You have to buy it in Japan, then get it shipped to wherever you are. Now you've got one, you have to drop a whole crap-load on cash on it to make it legal to drive on the roads. So, for the same price as a small (ish) Mercedes or BMW, you can get a used Nissan, hmm. Benz, Nissan, Benz, Nissan, I'd go for the Benz.

Essentially when you say "money can buy" you mean "MONEY can buy".
