American car companies do a very decent job these days.

Yep. However, John, you are talking to people who will cite a Pinto they had in high school 40 years ago as proof that every Ford, GM or Chrysler product ever built is a piece of shit. Completely ignoring all of the 40+ year old American branded vehicles still in use.

It's called "narrowmindedness".

Robbin, 300k is way beyond the norm for any car (except maybe those old Merc diesels). On the other hand, 100k, which used to be a big deal, is nothing to get excited about any more.

Yeah, so? Do you really believe Japanese cars never breakdown? That's funny, I have passed quite a few, sitting by the side of the road, over the years.

Are you trying to make the "Everybody knows......" argument or the "Some people say........." argument?

I had a 1977 Accord, bought new. When it got to 150k the engine was still fine and I was still on the original clutch!

But one day it basically broke in half. The chassis had rusted through at the firewall.

Like American cars, Japanese cars have always had their strengths and weaknesses.
