Depends on what he means by the exaggerated 99.9%. If its volume, its probably in the high 90% of FWD. In reality, very few models of the Japanese or Koreans have great performance compared to the German / American cars. Besides the GTR and NSX on the high end, CTR and Z Car on the low end, and the LC500 and IS500, everything else is kinda meh (thats spread across 6 brands!). The Koreans have the the N line of cars and the Genesis G70 and the upcoming EV6 GT / Ioniq 5 N so not a ton there either. The Germans have a high performance variant for almost every one of their models. The Americans also have a ton of high performance models too. In the end, not that many go Japanese or Korean when thinking of high performance or sport.

Lol we're really splitting hairs here.
I don't even know why we're having this debate. Korea's best sports car is a stinger? An NSX blows the doors off that as do other Japanese sports cars. Then their build quality is infinitely better and they will last much longer.
