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

Choice #5 - American | 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).

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.

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.

^ 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.

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.
