The Japanese car makers have to be applauded for their advertizing and public brainwashing. Funny how everybody says how great their Lexus is and how long their Honda last. Well next time you take a ride or look in the want ads tell me where are all these supposed 200k and 300k Japanese vehicles??? Heck, Try to even find a 80's Camary? Have you ever looked inside a 5 year old Lexus?
Most Japanese car owners feel paying for $400 service intervals or $600 alternators is something to brag about. Then hear about the guy with a Cavalier that has 100k and just needs say an A/C compressor complaining about what a piece of garbage it is.
Japanese cars are engineered to be built with the least cost involved plain and simple. They make their money on the parts and service. You look at ANY component under the hood of a Lexus and compare it to a German made one and you would have to be blind to see the difference. Heck the biggest mistake the Germans have made is trying to include all the useless bells and whistles that never work after a year or so.
Last but not least are the unions that are killing themselves. Maybe somebody should explain to the guy with zero education making $75 and paying 0 for his benifts that there are laywers and doctors from ivory league schools not making that much. We are killing ourselves and our greed will ruin this country.
