JAPAN all the way, most US stuff is made to break so they have job security

They're both good but I believe Japan (generally speaking) has had the upper edge. Both are good in their own right but I think Japanese cars exceed in most area's. Of course its bias to whether you like import or domestic.

P.S. I'd becareful about this kind of subject, it can be touchie and a domestic vs. Import war. Hold the flamming down!

Something to think about is, not who has the technology, but who is using it.

Oh so f'n true.

The US military is a decade ahead of anything you see on any consumer market. That fact helps me sleep at night.

Is this a trick question or can patriotism really blind people that badly? :)

your right about the US military equipment... their advanced, well... after WWII

lets just take drive by wire for example... they've been using those from back in the 70's and GPS from back in 89-91 "not sure" also there's the internet from NASA remember those videos from "the moon"???

but for the general public, military technology will only be available after like 30+years... unless they declassify the technology, only then will it be available for consumer/manufacturer use...

whats crazy about auto manufacturing is that people are all gung-ho about buying domestic vehicles, but soo many "american" cars arent even made in america anymore. i believe ford's fusion and other cars is made in mexico, and a bunch of chrysler cars are made in canada. meanwhile, japanese cars, like the camry, are being made here. i could really care less about "patriotism" when it comes to buying a car, cuz when it all comes down to it, it's all about dollars and cents...

I would like to be Promiscuous with a couple of Asian Women...

Me too Bo Coup for you baby… Me love you long time!

Either then that...

I think Japan and America are on the same playing field... I mean how many American Branded cars are really Japanese?

Now when it comes to cars... Italians (we don't see much here in the USA) and Germans are leading the pack!

Edit: There is one!

forpinks · 03-22-2007, 02:02 PM

I actually like European technology on cars... especially the Germans

But damn!, they cost too much to buy and maintain so its still not economical
