the facts are

honda and toyota are markedly superior in build quality demonstrated by the highest reliability records of any auto maker for the past decade....according to publications such as consumer reports and JD Powers surveys

most domestic drivers that show enmity towards japanese cars do so because of 1) lack of knowledge/understanding 2) rejection of things different 3) nationalism

the truth is japanese cars make up more than 50% of the market in America while in Japan, American cars make up less than 1% of the market.. that right there must tell you something..

here I will give a bit of information that will most certainly perplex most of those ignoramus' that comprise much of the japanese car hating crowd.. that will exemplify my point of the level of ignorance pervasive in the domestic crowd

if torque is the all important factor in making a car fast..

Why do the Honda/Toyota F1 cars that make ONLY around 90 ft-lbs of peak torque around 16,000 rpm run the quarter mile in around 9 seconds and 0-60 in under 3 seconds... ?

ask any typical japanese car hater this question and it'll be more clear why they feel the way they do,,, ignorance, opinions without any clear understanding
