Acura was killin it in the 90s. Toyota had both the MR2 and Supra as well as Celica lines. Mazda was rocking the world with the Miata and RX-7. Nissan gave ROW the Skyline and we got the great 300ZX.
The Japanese makers came out of the 80s ready to conquer the car world, and in many ways they did. Toyota ramped Lexus up. Sports cars were hot and no one made better ones. British cars were gone. The Germans didn't see what was hammering them. US cars were looking and feeling old. The Japanese were building reliable and fun cars with gadgets that worked, and worked forever.
This is why 90s Japanese cars are hot. They're well made. They're fun as hell. They're light and tossable and have thin pillars and are easy to drive and see out of.
