No Subaru is Japanese- part of the Fuji motor corp. Australias sole maker is Holden- a branch of GM that sells redaged Opels, Suzukis and the Commodore, as well as the Fod Falcon, local-mpdel Toyota Camry and Mitsubishi Diamante

Best cars is subjective. I'll go with the Itallians for their supercar lineups

It's a hard call between Germany and Asia for engineering. I'll vote Germany as they understood the importance of looks and therefore proposed better packages. Japanese manufacturer made well sorted car for years but it's only recently they are nice to look at.

SUBARU IS JAPANESE, OUTBACK IS WHAT THEY CALL IT IN THE STATES, AND THEY ONLY ADVERTISE IT TO BE RELATED TO AUSTRALIA. AND IF U STILL DONT BELIEVE EVEN GRAN TURISMO SHOWS U THAT SUBARU IS JAPANESE. THE STI HAS SO FAR ONLY SOLD IN JAPAN AND EUROPE UNTIL NOW. BUT I ALSO USED TO THINK THAT SUBARU WAS JAPANESE UNTIL I RESEARCHED.

It's a hard pick...German or East Asian....I'll go for Germany simply because they're cars are built to last...and perform. East Asian car makers do have bad ass racing cars but not nearly enough as the Germans.

I love italian exotics...but correct me if i'm wrong...they're not as reliable as German or East Asian engineered cars.

Don't get the idea that I don't like italian cars....I love them....but the question was about engineering and not racing heritage...once again....please correct me if i'm wrong.

yeah i've never heard of a ferrari ever hitting 300k. but if you were to spend 150k on a car would you drive it that far? I know i'd baby it more than anything. what I have heard from (lol "oddly" a show on porsche) that they're some of the most unreliable cars in the world. what i think is that ferrarie essentially makes them for weekend track cars or just a once a week 20 mile spin around the neighborhood.... nothing like putting around to work everyday, i dont really know though i've never researched ferrari much... their cars have never interested me. i would say that best car engineering certainly does include reliablility though. thats why i would pick german engineering as the best... even though for the most part if you dont take care of a german car you're fucked, if you do your porsche/audi/bmw/whatever right it will last you 300k miles plus.

Once again, Subaru is a Japanese company.

Does Fuji Heavy Industries sound Australian to you?????
