This style is even made it to our shores.
Case in point, the Moonlight Runners over in California:
The Kaido Racers–Japanese for highway racers–take their cues from Group 5 machines while mixing in stretched tires, slammed stances, extreme aero add-ons and, of course, external oil coolers, complete with draped lines.
Now, can we apply that style to any American cars and not have it look like a total joke? Because I would totally do that. Takiyari exhaust and all.

Now I have weird thoughts of a kaido Ford Granada

I'll bet the same styling cues on that Toyota Crown would work on a Dodge Aspen / Plymouth Volare; they look pretty similar.
Fox body Mustangs look kind of Nissan-ish; they might be able to pull off that look too.
And, of course, the Japanese have already adapted that treatment to Dodge vans.

That's cultural appropriation! How DARE you!

That said, I've always thought the 2nd gen Cressida and the Volvo 7-series were twins.
Time for some Swedish-Japanese fusion.
Zokusha. Kyusha. Shakotan. Bippu. Please learn the definition of all of these words before you proceed with the styling. And for the love of God don't take everything you read in American on the Internet as gospel! Most Americans have Japanese culture wrong!
Edit: gonna add in the word "itasha". Since you sometimes see them at the same car meets.
