“I agree. Japan has a culture of craft excellence that shows in the quality of their manufactured products. American culture values flash, low prices, and perceived status over quality. Hence the typical American car: a bloated, cheap piece of obsolete junk, designed to appeal to the taste of the average trailer trash loser who thinks he can buy a race car, or a brain-dead suburbanite who thinks his family is safer because they’re inside a fake military vehicle.
Add to the bad design the fact that American cars are put together by overpaid losers who couldn’t care less if what they’re making is actually any good or not and it’s no wonder our cars suck, and have always sucked. (Yes, classic car fans, even those cool old rides with the tailfins and hood scoops sucked: they were kludged-together, inefficient deathtraps.)
For me, it’s Toyota or nothing. “
Very well spoken...although my requirements are a bit less selective. For me, if it’s not UAW-built, I will consider buying it. Obviously Toyota’s fine, so is Nissan and Honda, to some extent, and, of course ANYTHING actually built in Asia.
To those UAW people, perhaps you should think a bit harder before you keep up your “screw the man” attitude.
