VIP style explained: Japan's luxury sedan stance culture
VIP style, or bippu, is the Japanese habit of taking big rear-drive luxury sedans like the Toyota Celsior and Nissan Cedric and making them lower, wider and more imposing. It grew out of Osaka and the bosozoku scene in the early 1990s and still runs on air suspension, deep three-piece wheels, negative camber and lounge-style rear cabins.
