What this shows me is that all cars have their share of problems. American, Japanese, German, etc. It's getting to the point (just like computers) where they'll have the same reliability. With platform sharing, engine sharing it seems like the automakers will hit some sort of equilibrium in terms of content and reliability.

The reason japanese cars are considered more reliable is because they are driven by a group of people who generally buy them and drive them leisurely. Most American cars are beat to piss and because of that they have a bad reliability rating. Yes the ricer crowd drives their cars the same way but the ricer crowd isn't that big in comparison. There have been plenty of lemon japanese vehicles- Mazda Rx7's for one. It's also true that Japanese cars generally have less innovation. My dad works for Delphi- he summed it up very well as he used to work with GM but now deals with Toyota: GM wants the latest coolest gadgets and Toyota wants a proven technology and generally uses less innovative parts which leads to less issues.

Compare apples to apples. Most Japanese cars are in the sub 25,000 category. If you want to compare sub 25,000 german cars, start comparing Jettas to Accords or Camrys.

Infiniti G35x/FX45
Toyota Avalon (around 30k)
Lexus RX 330/ES300
Acura TL/RL

off the top of my head are way above 30k.

I just purchased an '05 Infinit G35 coupe a few weeks ago. I shopped around other cars around that range. That included BMWs and MB. Unless you are willing pay above $50,000, European cars are overpriced with measley standard features. Interiors are lousy, and the performance was not as impressive. So I don't know why you are stating that Japanese cars are crappy compared to German cars.

BMW 300 series, even 500 series compared to my G35? Underpowered box my arse. Notice that I am comparing with similar price range.

It's not cool. Using the word Jap shouldn't be allowed.

It's a word, deal with it. Or ban white boy, cracker, beloved patriot etc.

im japanese and have no problem with jap.

Funny. I am and I do.

Thats cool, jap may not be the preferred term but it is certainly better than beloved patriot, beloved patriot, chingchong and pancake face.



jesus christ you people need to calm down, go cry to your mothers, japcrap = japanese crap, and has no racial inclaniation whatsoever


What the fvck is inclaniation

Yeah!

Seriously. Why haven't Japanese car companies haven't come out with extra wide EE sized seats for us lard ass Americans?!?

its not true though. all automakers have been sizing up their seats and stuff through the years. getting wider and stuff. mentioned in many of those news magazines when they do their annual fat americans editions:) heck, the current civic is the same size of an accord from the early 90s:p

I read the first page and stopped. You're all missing the point. Only sh|tty drivers get auto transmission. People who like to do more than just point their car buy manual. So anyone who bought auto deserves it (even though what "it" is, is not even an issue).

not everyone sees the point of doing extra work while driving. not everyone is under the delusions that they are a race car driver.

Not only does it make driving much more fun (hence not work) it puts you in more control of your car, which I believe results in being a better driver

An unbiased observation if I ever saw one.

As much as I like the G35, you have got to be joking about the interior. The interior of the G35 is a bunch of cheap plastic and leather. Sit in an Audi or Lexus and you'll see a huge difference in interiors.

You just contradicted yourself in the same paragraph. You say that Japanese cars are only more reliable because of the people who drive them (which was a stupid enough statement, given the number of riceboys who beat the piss out of their Civics), then you go on to describe how Toyota only chooses the most reliable and proven technologies for their cars while GM shoves in anything that looks good.

You sir, are a moron. Please stop posting.

meh yea. just have to look at the history of american automakers. decades ago they were innovative and caddies were the most advanced out there, then they cruised for so long on just style, shat all over their brands/car lines, and then europe and asia caught up and passed em. people dont buy foreign cars out of spite. if they were even equal i'm sure most people would side with domestic, but they arent.

Most people dont treat their cars as toys for "fun". And the more you have to do, the more you are forced to multitask which makes things less safe. And unless you are a racecar pro with paddle shifters, in emergency situations you're better off w/ two hands on the wheel without worrying about shifting for anyreason.

Ford just announced another 350,000 Focus need to be recalled.
