-GoBengals- Posted March 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 [quote name='bubba' post='755982' date='Mar 13 2009, 10:46 PM']My Chrysler Concorde has 140,000 I've changed the oil regular and put plugs and brake pads on it. My buddies have bought Japanese cars and they aren't more reliable. Maybe in the 80's but not today, that is a myth.[/quote] lol. well i have friends that are repair people at both a honda and a gm dealer. and i know family members on my side and wifes who buy each and have seen the difference. there is indeed a large difference... a myth.. holy shit...thats crazy talk. every ratings magazine on the planet rates them accordingly. and my brother-n-law works for chrysler and admits the huge differences... if you take great care of your car, either will last a long time, if you let a few small things slip.. the jap car will last much longer..

NASTYNATI Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Ive found its best not to start the Import vs American debate. Honda and Toyota are miles above the rest period... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Elflocko| Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Toyota is finding out the hard way what it's like to be the biggest car maker in the world. The more you make, the harder it is to keep up the quality. That's why my next vehicle will be a Honda (which says a lot as I grew up in a GM family, but my GMC Canyon was the last fucking straw... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
