They are in Japan... There are not enough tuners interested in VIP in the US for there to be a major presence. Talk to Robert about where the clubs are, or buy a VIPcar Video and watch some of the club footage. It really is interesting, and will shed some light into the whole cutlure / style.

Becuase VIPcar's are VIP becuase of their chassis... not because of their cost. In Japan, there are clubs for "foriegn" cars, then there are clubs for VIPcars. You will rarely see a 7 series or in a VIPcar club. You will sometimes see a "few" benz's, but not many.
Hell, to the outsider, the 7 series, the s-class, the audi a-8, the XJ8, the STS or CTS, the Lincoln LS, etc all look like suitable VIPcars... but its not like that- Its really hard to explain. I really urge you to pick up or borrow a VIPcar Video. You can find them- check out the classifieds on VIPstylecars.com every now and then, or talk to a japanese book store. It will help firm up what VIPcar is all about.

Like I mentioned earlier, there are magazines, clubs, and shows for Benz's in Japan that a seperate from the VIPcar events, magazines, and clubs.

I think that 300c is hot.. and definately vip. even if the chassis is not categorized as a vip one, yet, the styling done to the car is definately vip..
take a look at this vip q45
