mmmkay.....

For me American, i've found Buicks to very reliable cars; Good ride and within most peoples price range to.

I think there is an obvious answer. The best sports cars in the world are found to be european. That is a fact.

Sarcasm, you ever hear of it? If you maintain your car instead of running it to the ground, most newer cars will not let you down, be it Japanese, American, or European.

I am on Porsche #2, and previous to that I have owned numerous Japanese and American cars... The same things hold true for all; if well cared for they will last for you. Granted the maintenance schedule for my 968 is quite a bit pricier than it would be for a Tercel or Focus or their ilk, but I have never driven a car as well sorted as the Porsche 968. Now if it only had a little more stank in the engine compartment. (Normally aspirated 4-banger, only so much one can do)

i picked Australia, cause i dunno what they make...
but i like their beer...

-Germans for their engines and transmissions (911s, M, ///AMG, S, SMG)
-Italy for their bodies
-Sweden for making the longest damn lasting car ever (some guy drove a mid 80's 240 for about 1,000,000 miles)
-America for most power for the money (Z06=405bhp for 50 grand, Viper=500bhp for 80ish)
-Japan for the VTEC

I would have to say that german cars are the best. Even though latley they have been getting bad reviews. I think that people see german cars as very reliable and then don't care of them that well. People expect too much and when something goes wrong because they didn't take care of their cars, they complain and that is why more bad reviews have benn appearing. And also most german cars are pushed harder then most non-european cars. Hondas are seen as really reliable, but you have to take into account that most of them are driven by middle-aged women that don't expect much more than good gas milage. On the other hand, when someone buys a BMW, they see it as a sports car and use it as one, and that is why it is hard to find a used BMW in good condition.

i would say 80's Saab's for being the most durable & reliable frames and getting alot of power out of a four cylinder, but performance and looks definitely hand over to German engineering

[MR2Driver]

VTEC? That isnt exactly an engineering marvel.

Either way I picked Germany, no contest. The only people to top them in any field is Toyota, they are the pioneers in hybrid technology (Take a good look at the Volta in Geneva)

[IKILLRICERS]

um dude Subaru is Japanese

[IKILLRICERS]

o yah all austrailia so yall know were the ones who made the new GTO.
Pontiac just rebadged it.

Germans and the British

i picked americans cause you just get so much bang for your buck. Americans are loud mouthed yankes and our cars represent that.
