Reply #7: Then I guess the 150,000 plus miles on my '98 Honda [View All]

And the 100,000 plus miles on my Nissan truck, both without having any major problems other than routine maintenence, is all an illusion:shrug:

I have consistently gotten better performance, engine life, durability, and fewer repair bills with foreign makes since the '70s than any of the crappy iron put out by the Big 3. The only American car that has done as well was my '87 Chevy Nova, which has 200,000 plus miles, and is still going strong(I have had to replace the timing belt however:eyes:). But that's only because '87 Novas were relabeled Toyota Camry.

Sorry, but you're living in a land of delusion. Every major, independent automotive crictic will tell you that Japanese cars are the best value for your money.
