Fast and Furious 5? Will it ruin the image of the GTR?

Well what is actualy the image of the GTR?
Motorsports?
JDM generation?
Japan?
Nismo?
just a sports car?

I think that despite Fast and Furis, being very crappy directed movies with scenarios like B-TV series . .I like the fact that Furi jumped on the phenomena of the JDM culture in the US. This culture has grown on it's own by young passionated peeps with a fascination for things coming from japan.
The makers of Fast and Furi knew that they gonna hit more peeps over a long time with black Honda Civics, chasing the streets, then usuing for the thausends time, Ferraris and Porsches in the movie.

Fast and Furi is the only movie serie that gives a homage to that JDM culture, while also focusing on the mainstream US-tuning scene . .that's maybe why it has so much success.

For me the old GTRs (R35 GTR excluded) are the forbidden fruits from japan and the ultimate JDM car . . . Fast and Furi gives this image a great tribute each time, despite being a bit soft on the scenario and the deepeness of the technology covered.
