The video discusses six Japanese cars that would be highly desirable in the US market in 2021, focusing on the potential for electrification and new models. The reviewer highlights the need for Lexus to introduce a fully electric vehicle, suggesting the RZ450e with an estimated 300+ horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque, likely AWD. The Honda Element is proposed as a hybrid lifestyle vehicle, emphasizing its utility for outdoor activities. The Subaru Baja is presented as a potential competitor in the growing truck market, suggesting modifications to the Outback platform. The return of the Nissan Xterra is advocated for, envisioning it as a capable off-roader to rival the Bronco and Jeep. The Acura ZDX is revisited as a potential electric vehicle, though the reviewer expresses concern about the timeline. Finally, the GR Corolla is identified as the top pick, a performance hot hatch with AWD and a manual transmission that would significantly impact the market. The reviewer concludes that while many of these vehicles are unlikely to arrive in 2021, some, like the GR Corolla and Lexus EV, have a higher probability.
