JDM stands for Japanese Domestic Market, which refers to cars that were built for use in Japan instead of the United States car market. JDM cars are manufactured to stay up to Japans road standards and are sold domestically in Japan. They are often high-performance Japanese models, and many car enthusiasts are attracted to JDM cars in different continents such as North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. JDM cars are popular among car enthusiasts because they have a unique look and style, with slight exterior changes and different engine specs that make them a popular collectors item for people who want something different. JDM vehicles are close enough to the U.S. versions without being too wild but still feature some interesting design elements. While JDM cars are not drastically different from their American-oriented counterparts, they usually have some subtle differences like slightly different body styles or light arrangements. The term JDM can also refer to a modification style in the enthusiast crowd.
