How do you feel about the Rising Sun flag being used in Japanese import car culture?
I feel like it's more than a bit insensitive to what Japan did in WW2 and that it's much like putting a swas on a VW, but people seem to not have a problem with it. What do you guys think?

I don't have a problem with it, but I just don't have much context or notions that would lead me to.
I'd be more interested in hearing how 日本人 feel about it.
What about Koreans?
Maybe I misunderstood the initial question. Are we talking Japanese car culture in Japan? Or elsewhere in the world? I think that context and locale probably changes the sentiment.
I took import car culture to mean overseas away from a less homogeneous society to on that is possibly more multicultural. I wouldn't drive through Chinatown or Koreatown with a rising sun flag, since I understand the sign holds very different meanings to them compared to people who think it looks cool and like anime.
