Honda Car Forum

Every american car i've owned had major mechanical problems and cheap interior.. I've since owned a honda and toyota and even after all of these years they still hold strong.. So why do Honda's and Toyota's kick American cars arses?

Because you buy the cheapest model they offer. Or because you bought a Ford Focus!

Because of Americas infatuation with money and skimping on everything means you pay more for quality shite!!!

They are just better. What I don't understand is that the Honda's are actually manufactured here in the US, so why are they so much better?

cuz we dont use the metric system....

hahaha!!i know EXACTLY what you mean. pure profit margin for those american auto makers. they will cut every corner and hope you come back with more $$$ for the parts they want to sell you!!run from those gas guzzling pigs!

Well, you could say the same thing about Japanese vs English cars (I'm English), or Japanese vs French cars, or whatever. They are just better designed and better made. Simple as that.

american cars are neither worse nor better made then a foreign model car it just depends on how u treat it... of course when u go out and by a honda civic its gonna last longer than a dodge neon the honda cost more... if u were to go buy to cars same price treat them the exact same they should both run as long as each other no matter who makes it

i personally favor british and german cars. the construction of the car might be more precise and is better because they might have better technology. And european vehicles and japaneese are better altogether then american except maybe the hummers

What we think of today as "Japanese management" was actually originated by an American. Japanese companies use the Deming method of quality control and continual improvement-"kaizen"l. Dr. Edwards Deming was American, but US companies weren't interested in his ideas so he went to Japan and became a hero.
