A strong statement.
I do not see how you can say that your money is better spent buying a "German" quality car over a Japanese one. Many believe that Japanese build amazing quality automobiles, and that is not unfounded.
....especially the 350Z. I was originally planning to purchase an M3, but changed my mind and bought a 350Z instead for 20 grand less. I do not see at all how you can better spend $37,000 on a German car over a 350Z. Please enlighten me.

Here is what Consumer Reports's research shows -
"American and European brands in 2002 had 21 problems per 100 vehicles, while the Asian brands had just 12 problems per vehicle; Toyota led them all with 10 problems per vehicle."
