Question

What does JDM stand for?
I've figured out that it's to do with imports and am guessing the J is "Japanese", but can't work out what the DM stands for

I think JDM arose after some people protested about them being called JAP imports

edit: As the term "JAP" is deemed offensive

Just to be a bit more constructive a few extras my JDM bugeye has over UK spec:
  • Folding electric wing mirrors
  • Rear wash wipe (4 door)
  • rear security glass (tints)
  • lower ratio gear box ( = faster acceleration)
  • 247bhp (versus 220ish of UK)
  • no rear fog lamp

Plus some more stuff I have not discovered yet
