Many countries in the world have the driver’s seat on the left side, but some countries, such as the UK and Japan, have the driver’s seat on the right side. The car models for these countries should use the model with the driver’s seat on the right side. However, it would also be meaningful to include both the Acura NSX and the Honda NSX, since Forza from FM3 onwards has a driver’s seat view.
「右ハンドル最高！」日本車に魅せられたアメリカ人が集結 NYで愛車100台超が爆走
I wonder how many Americans are on this forum who say “JDM is the best.” It feels like a fantasy world.
All depends on where they source their car models and what models they can get approved from the OEM.

Your post covers all the reasons why American cars are not accepted in Japan. American cars should be covered in America, and at the same time, Japanese cars should be JDM cars that are covered in Japan.
This video plunged me into despair because there was a USDM AE86 in it. And the “JAPAN AWAITS” message at the end of the video proves that the gap in perception is huge and fatal.

I’m deeply disappointed. It’s now obvious that Forza Horizon 6 has no real intention of recreating Japan. The slogan “JAPAN AWAITS” feels like a complete lie. Even in the promotional footage, a Toyota Land Cruiser is shown with a left-hand drive configuration — something that would never be used in Japan. This clearly shows they aren’t taking Japan seriously at all.
