My Toyota Highlander was made in Japan.
My wife’s Toyota Tacoma, was made in California.
Both are good cars.
My folks GM was made who knows where, broken the first day they owned it. My Ford almost killed me, electrical died in the worse possible place. That was years ago, will not throw my hard earned money away on garbage be it foreign or domestic.
My vette and silverado have been good to me. My 2004 Dodge ram rusted horribly and ate up front end suspension components like that was it’s job. It washed those front end parts down with about a quart of oil every few months. My 2000 Blazer was a good vehicle. It wasn’t without issues but I ultimately sold it in 2015 and I was sad to let it go.
I’m talking about cars made for the Japanese market made by Japanese carmakers IN Japan .
