man these games seem like a big deal in japan. the cute anthropomorphic cars thing doesnt seem very translatable to the west so much tho. occasionally we get one of these marketed as a generic racing game however no one would know it.

it more or less still is a racing game however (thus i am terrible at it), it just has a shiny jrpg exterior where you drive around town talking to other car npcs and picking up upgrades till you find the next race.
