Talk:Import scene
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is there a reason this isn't at Import scene instead? Unless there's some evidence that shows that the proper noun Import Scene is commonly used, I recommend moving this to Import scene and redirecting the capitalized version in. --Milkmandan 08:40, 2005 Mar 13 (UTC)
- I've seen both capitalizations; not sure which is more common. I don't have anything against moving this page to Import scene. — J3ff 06:21, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup
- Some sections of this article are written unprofessionally and without citations. In need of cleanup. A similar article has been dismantled on these grounds. TydeNet 06:11, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Link advertisements
It looks like the external links are just advertising random import sites rather than any definitive ones. Falsedef 21:18, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] List
What ever happend to the list of import tuner models? I cannot find it anywhere, this is the only place I know where to ask this.
It probably got deleted on the grounds that most of them aren't notable enough to warrant their own individual pages (according to standard Wikipedia guidelines). TCB007 22:41, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Outsider Perspective
A little more detailed historical research would be nice. I recall at least two socal trends. First was the Chicano fad for lowering Nissan trucks in the 1980s - an obvious nod to lowriders. This immediately predated the rise of flashy imports, particularly among Asian immigrants and Asian Americans seeking to distinguish themselves. Also, the VW restoration scene was strong, and was happening a bit before the truck thing. The racing thing was different, and there have been some import racers since the 1970s at least, with the Datsun 280Z, 510, 240 or whatever it was. These racers weren't about the flashy cars, as I recall. They were just loud, and presumably, fast.
