Question:Is a Japanese car really safe?

Cars of Japanese brands have a good a crash test result, like Honda, Nissan..but weight of Japanese car is kinda light, the car body has very thin steel plates. American cars are much heavier..I don't think a Honda Accord will has the advantage when crashes with a Buick LaSabre though Honda has a better crash test result.

I agree with you 100%, the Japs may have had engine advantage for 2 decades, but never the frame.

A recent study found the average American walks about 900 miles per year.
Another study found Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of beer a year.
That means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon.
Kind of makes you proud to be an American.



Who are the real scammers if you think Dealers and Salespeople - think again
