If you go to a normal person and say " that looks like rice", they will look at you and think you are on something. Unfortunately, some bad seeds probably coined the term for the rest of us. Long before the Evo and STi, WRX came to our shores, they were ruling the streets of Japan and Europe. During those times, here in the U.S. people were taking Civics, Accords and the like and putting crazy bodykits, fart cans, and wings taken off a 747, trying to mimic the Japanese lifestyle. Other people looked and laughed. So when cars like ours finally came along, the people as a whole generally had a negative view of them. Ridiculing the functional looks of the Evo and Sti, and mistaking them for the cosmetic ones of others.
rice is food... if some ppl say jap products are rice... then think about ur electronics also... sony, panasonic, etc... "rice car" or "ricey" is made up by some dumbass who was prolly hating on asians... besides its not only asian ppl who make "rice" lookin cars... white ppl do it too... like on a neon or a cavalier... and last thing... ur car, u paid for it, so its ur decision on wat to do with it....
