Isuzu had DOHC in 1968, Mitsubishi and Toyota had DOHC in 1970 and I'm sure the 117, Galant GTO MR and Celica had factory tachos and 110mph+ top speeds. Perhaps no 4wheel discs though.

Commonplace things in most of today's automobiles such as 5 speed Automatic transmission, electronic suspension control, electrochromatic rear view mirror, mass produced 5V per cylinder engine, electronic ABS, rain sensing windscreen wipers, factory GPS system, steering wheel mounted audio controls, direct injection gasoline engine, electronic cam-switching, electronic VVT, diesel engine with VVT came from, you guessed it, Japan.

and planes, but it was adapted for automotive use, with Nissan being the first to have an electronically controlled ABS in 1971.

Too bad they aren't innovators and have to copy the rest of the automotive world, btw out of interest after recently looking at new car prices, bland Corolla 4spd auto wagon rrp very close to VW Golf TDi DSG 6 spd!
