FanimeCon isn't the only convention that the staff is involved with, and just because you see familiar faces as staff or heads of another event doesn't mean it's part of FanimeCon.
Although I would like to see some sort of car show display at FanimeCon one day, maybe to highlight cars featured in anime over the years:
AE86, FD3S, FC3S, etc... from Initial D
GTR32, Devil Z S30, Porsche 911, etc...from Wangan Midnight/Maximum Tune
Lupin III's Fiat 500 (Fiat actually made a special edition Fiat 500 Lupin III Edition)
The police cars of You're Under Arrest
Professor Layton's Citroen C2V
just to name a few
I didn't just assume it, it's what I've been told. Someone told me that Fanime/ARG is throwing this show. And I know for a fact that they've showed interest in the Import Scene in the past. I was only asking because it would've sucked if it was part of ARG. That show was a HUGE loss and pretty stupid if you ask me. It was held on the same day as a larger car show and the same weekend as the EDC with very little promotion. I would just hate to see ARG lose money with other ventures and end up cutting corners with Fanime. Since it's not part of it, it's good to hear.
side note: I actually own 2 cars from your list. ;D
but both aren't replicas of the show and they're far from it.
1. Corolla GT-S "AE86". I have a GT-S, but it's red not panda... and it's an 1986, so I put all the 'kouki' stuff on it, not like Initial D's 'zenki'.
2. Honda City - I have a City like You're Under Arrest, but it's a convertible and it's blue.
