Pretty much.
The Germans and the Italians are the only ones who know how to make nice cars. North American cars and Asian cars are pure crap.
I use to think the same way, but japanese cars are great. Build quality, price, reliability, etc... I wouldn't label them as crap.
Have you ever owned any Euro cars? Before you speak, a lot of them are not as good as people hype them up to be. Most of what you're paying for is the name, and I'll take an Aston Martin before any of the italian cars aside from some of the Ferraris.
Anyways, don't get me wrong, I am partial to euro cars and just pointing things out. They are not all that aside from a couple of cars imo, GT3, M3, F430, some benzes, some audis, etc.... but they really need to fix most of the reliability problems they have, quality issues in benzes, electrical, etc....
