Hell, the reason I am still in college is because of my dream. A RUF Turbo R. Even when I type it, I get erect. (excuse the vulgarity but the midweek 'hydration' is taking affect)

not all Japanese engines are made in mexico, btw.
And, as far as the reason ANY foreign car will last longer then any american car, and that most foreign cars will out perform domestic equivalents, (don't compare a hyundia to a viper, duh), the reason is pretty simple. Foreign automakers actually reinforce their engines. If you put a chevy 350 on the ground the bottom end will deform tremendously, however, if you put a honda engine on the ground you will get minimal damage (don't try this at home). Foreign engines are just stonger physically, and they have must tighter tolerance levels in their engineering.
I also think it is about time to retire OHV engines. I mean COME ON!!! is it so hard to put DOHC into engines? No, it isn't. The corvette grandsport did it.
Only recently has there been any sign of american automakers trying to make a good engine. And by good I mean throwing out the saying "there's no replacement for displacement". The best example is the new trailblaver engine. Finally, Inline 6, and it makes a ton of power! 270 if i remember correctly. Stop making those damn v-6's. I had an 85 fiero v6 with 110hp. 110HP!!!!! what the ****!!!! Ok, I'm done now
i understood your point and agreed with everything you just saidOriginally posted by higgimonster
I am not sure whether you understood my point or not. I know, hyundai is korean but I forgot what I was comparing when I was writing the post
I agree with german cars being mch better then japanese cars. But japanese cars are much better then american cars. And for the price/reliability ratio, japanese cars have it in the bag. Doesn't mean I would pass up a bmw for a honda however
Oh, and I'd almost rather have a Korean car than an american one. This is a defenite in some cases 
hey, i know i'd rather have a new Tiburon than most American carsOriginally posted by masonholmes
I'd love to see what a japanese car would be if it were in the pricerange of a what we are talking about here. Anybody can sit down and design awesome cars if they think they're gonna be selling them for 200,000 smackers. with the pricetag comes even higher maintenence bills as well. so yes, german cars are better than most japanese makes, but they're aimed at a much different audience. Find me a 13k German car and then we will compare it to a civic, or the like
peace,
just playin!
and when the aft-right tyre lost grip, SCREEEECH a door and fender srape against the barriers... Old car ?? At only 7500 kms clocked ???

I had a terrible experience with az Hyundai F Coupe !! It is absoloute CRAP !!! A very wide right-curve, (some 30 degrees at the most) 120 - 130 kph max speed and guess what happenedd ? The front left suspension "gave way"
C' maaawwwnnnnn !!!!
That car is a trap !!! I had to pay for the damage because it was my friend's car and he did not have a full extension insurance except compulsary traffic coverage...
I pity all the stuff WASTED on that heap of junk !!!
I would prefer a Skoda Octavia or even Fabia instead of the BEST Korean out there !!! Or maybe even a LADA Samara !!!
