I believe that the Japanese cars are no better or worse that the American cars. Mostly it is the Media causing this.  I have been a mechanic for over 40 years and worked on all makes and models.  Most of the Japanese cars turned in to rust buckets in a few years in the early year when they firts started showing up here.  As  for the German cars like BMW and Audi.  Over rated.  More Media hype.  Why do they have so many shops that  work only on foriegn  cars.   I believe that the American  companies mangement was bad due to greed.  If they treated and paid a fair wage,then you would not need a union.  I do think that the unions got greedy to.  Anyway enough of that.  Just tired of our cars taking the knock.  Gary
