Everyone has their own preference, I can see a flame war starting :P

jap cars but if I had money to blow then euro

Depends on the money scenario. Starting out, I'd probably just buy something Japanese as it makes sense financially - lower fuel consumption, not flashy etc.
But when I've "made it" when I'm in my 60s, I don't think buying an Acura or Lexus full sized sedan would prove to all my acquaintances that I've "made it" in a sea of European cars.

Choice #1 - Japanese
Choice #2 - European
Choice #3 - Korean
Choice #4 - China
Choice #5 - American

why bother including american cars in the favourite list

I always thought that the differentiation between USDM and JDM was the intended market of the vehicle or vehicle parts, not the manufacturer. For example, you can have a USDM Honda Civic and a JDM Honda Civic. Am I wrong?


You mentioned the money scenario...some of the American cars have lower consumption than their Japanese counterparts (i.e. the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid has much better consumption than the Toyota Camry Hybrid)...and I'm eagerly awaiting the Chevy Volt to put these consumption haters to rest...now if you are talking about lifetime maintanence costs...I'd agree with you.

Korean and Chinese over American? You should have thrown in Tata....please...you would prefer to drive a Kia or Hyundai over a Caddy? Corvette? G8? Sierra? Come on....and the Chinese auto companies - that's a whole other story.


Anyways, I drive Japanese so for now Japanese > American (in certain aspects).

well u get what i mean. japanese, euro, american, same thing.

i drive a japanese, so of course I prefer jap cars

besides, my entire family drives jap-made cars, except for my dad

there MUST be somethin' good about jap made cars if the majority of cars we see on the roads in vancity now are...jap cars.

I prefer Eurasian car like good strong sturdy Russian car.
Get best of both world with European and Asian design.

Is best car known to man.

Zaporozhets!

No, did not sneeze. That is name of automobile.

All the way

Lol by that i mean, the OP's original question was whether we like American, European or Japanese cars. The way i read it, i should choose one, in fact i like them all is what i wanted to say. I mean you get cool cars from all three.

I prefer European car. But for now it's out of my budget...So I'll stick with Japanese car

I'm looking to purchase Subaru Impreza just the 2.5i Sports though....I have no money for WRX or STi

European

Japanese cuz parts are cheappppppppppppppp

same as typical people

Japanese cars for sure, best bang for buck.
If I become rich, European. :D

No preference... I buy whatever appeals to me. I like my MR2 which is of course Japanese but I want a bigger sedan now so I'm going with the CTS.

Japanese Cars because parts are cheaper
European if i were rich
and i'd go for American for the muscle cars!

Japanese because their generally more reliable but if iI were rich i'd go for Italian exotic. I don't get why people say "European if i were rich" not all euros are expensive...arent vw euro? audi? theirs expensive Japanese too and American.

My dream car: Mclauren SLR

Euro FTW if i become a billionair

pre-2000 japanese or pre-bangle german

^ bangle only applies to BMW.

Euro. Tried my hands on enough Japanese....they lack heritage. Japanese cars are fun when modded to the tits though. US if it's a rental or a big ass truck.

american muscle all the way. And most of revscene is american hating cause those are the ones that know jack shit about cars.

My ideal case would be owning an euro + jap car

European Car: If I were Rich
Japanese Car: Huge Aftermarket Support ( specifically ~ Honda)

Euros first Japs second.

You people are fucking retarded.

Most Toyota's are built in... you guessed it, North America! The first brand with a California design studio? Toyota.

Meanwhile, Cadillac's CTS was developed overseas. The Pontiac G8 was an Australian developed car.

And every single brand on the face of the planet is going to the same global parts suppliers for the parts that make the biggest impacts on the driving experience: the electronics. The quality of the interiors is determined more by the switch, door panel, and fabric suppliers than the "manufacturer."

Start thinking globally. The days of classifying cars by their brand's country of origin are long gone.

so which type of cars do you prefer?
