Indeed, I'm responsible for that Tercel (and a few other "Made for J"). I know it's ususual and debatable, and I certainly wouldn't put a "Made for F" on a Renault, but my initial logic was this : JDM-spec japanese cars have become, since the 1970s, quite specific themselves when compared to their export versions.

For instance, if we omit the EU-spec rear foglight, some japanese cars look exactly the same in Germany, Hong Kong, Chile or Australia. However, that same car, in JDM-spec, will probably have a different name, or a different grille, or an incredibly convoluted trim level, or that third outside mirror if it's an SUV, and so on.

That's why I started to put a "Made for J" tag on JDM japanese cars, but only when there's another spec elsewhere in the world. I thought I wouldn't put that tag on a Honda Mobilio Spike, for instance, because that one had never been officially exported outside Japan.

But then came those russian series where used JDM-spec cars were often seen, sometimes alongside EU-spec (or even US-spec !) ones. So I thought it would be interesting to reflect that by adding the spec of each vehicle, when known. And that meant adding a "Made for J" on cars which wouldn't get one before.

I know, it's complicated.
