I've never owned a Japanese-made vehicle. I also did not have problems with my 1993 Chevy Pickup (14 years, 204,000 miles) ... nor my 2007 Chevy Pickup (4.5 years, 77,000 miles). Also did not have ANY problems with my 2011 Silverado (10 years, 180,000 miles). I have had my 2007 Corvette A6 for only 3-1/2 years (from 51,700 miles to 79,000 miles now), but no problems with it. Not even with the several Mods I've done (this car is SO EASY to work on.)
Japan Incorporated --where all of the companies and corporations work in close COLLUSION with the socialist government-- declared Economic Warfare on the United States decades ago. Their term for it, not mine. In several industries that I worked in, the jobs eventually went to Japan. That country also engaged in price-fixing, currency manipulation, product dumping-under-cost-of-manufacture, government subsidy to sustain profits, technology theft, and other unfair and/or illegal industrial practices.
Where do you think China learned all of these bad habits?
