I still drive my 98 Japanese car and it runs like new. They build a superior automobile.

I disagree. Today's American cars are every bit as good as today's Japanese cars. Too much of quality is perception and there is a bias factor in our culture that Japanese cars have fewer defects.

I am not speaking from perception but my experience. I have owned both and only my american cars needed work beyond changing the oil and scheduled maintenance. We could debate this all night but it just comes down to our personal preferences and experiences.
