Is it true that Japenese use alot more plastic and cheaper parts?
Where do you get this stuff? The opposite is true. I think you should go to a Chevy and sit in a Cavalier, then go to a Toyota dealer and sit in a Corolla. Come back here and tell us which one has higher build quality.
Women don\'t give a crap about "which car can beat which other car." They want a vehicle that has features, good build quality, and reliability. In general, those are not things you find in domestic cars. Any one of the big three automakers can make a heavy vehicle like a camero go fast by throwing a huge heavy engine in it.
On the other hand, engineering skill is required to produce a vehicle with equal performance using an engine that is half the displacement or half the number of cylinders. No american carmaker is building engines with the efficiency of the Japanese right now. They are incapable of it, but that\'s ok because it\'s not a priority to them. They think they\'re going to survive by servicing the SUV and truck market, and relying on people like you to buy their inferior cars. I don\'t think it\'s going to work. Their market share continues to dwindle year after year, and they don\'t learn any lessons because they have their heads up their asses.
