回覆: American vs British vs German vs Italian vs Japanese vs Korean

German, for its rock hard solid feel at high speed cruising and they are well engineered

Italian, for its exotic style

British, for its gentleman like styling

Japanese, for its reliability

American, nothing but its pure power from the gas guzzling big size engine

Korean, don't like the cars, but like the cute girls

but overall I like German car the best

German - history, soild, style

Italian - history, FAST.

British - (only AM, TVR is a bit ok) for Styling and prestige

Japanese - anything about history haha, for it's value and reliability and efficiency (rev happy)

American - if u r torque happy, then.. there u go

Korean - don't like any of them, cept this year's triburon (good looks, shitty interior) but good value if u want just a "car" to commute

over all, I have a better feel with jap cars.. but then if i were to compare it with german, jap would lose...

American for muscle car they produce. Like the old saying there is no Replacement for Displacement. If you like torque this is the way to go. Favorite American car is Z06 405HP. Only weakness is interior design could use more work. The seats are very comfortable though and fiberglass body sheds weight.

British for Lotus Elise MK2. It proves you don't need big amounts of hp to be fun and fast. Need improvement on reliability and quality of parts used. Also a special place for McLaren F1 road car.

German for Autobahn and Nurburgring. The legacy of 911 Turbo will live on. Twin Turbo Flat 6 behind the rear axle is flat out performance oriented!! BMW for it's hydrogen powered vehicles. Benz for all it's safety advancement.

Italian for supercars that everyone dreams of at night. Doesn't a Ferrari F360 Spyder or Lamborghini Murcielago look sexy in your garage? Too bad most Ferrari sold in America are from grey market.

Japanese for their ambition. The cars they created the last 10 years speak for themselves. Honda for creating the first Japanese supercar NSX and it's Motor-racing. Toyota for putting a scare into Double B by setting up Lexus. Nissan for creating an AWD monster call Skyline. Mazda for winning Le man with their 787B rotary engine and creating RX-7. Subaru and Mitsubishi for their AWD technology and WRC championships. Isuzu for their Diesel technology. The future is bright as Japanese have the lead in hybrid vehicles.

Korean for their affordability. They are what Japanese started out to be back in the 60's. Give them some time to develop and they will climb to the top like Japanese.

Swedish for Saab's Variable Compression ratio technology.

My verdict now is Japanese. When I get older it would become German. When I retired it I hope I can switch to Italian.

Nice analysis JDM, btw nice signiture... :)

I'm going for Japanese for the next 10 years simply Japanese car have combined everything from power, luxury, comfort, reliability, affordability, maintenance into one package. One thing I think Japanese should improve is to have more solid body structure. The doors on a MB/BMW and Lexus just feels different. MB/BMW feels much more solid and runs very stable and smooth in high speed. Japanese cars seems to float (especially in high cross winds) in high speed.
