You’d shocked at how many components models from different companies share these days.

Cars are built largely by robots and automated machinery.

If you people think that the robot welding body seams or casting and assembling engine blocks knows it’s in America, Europe or Japan, and behaves accordingly, then most DCUM posters are even dumber than I imagined.

Not really. The people in Midwest tend to buy a lot of domestic cars whether democrats or republicans. People in rural areas do buy lots of American pickups.

The other day when I came to the office, I noticed that 90% of the parking lot was filled with foreign made cars.  Wonder who is buying Ford, GM, and Chrysler these days?


Good carmakers survive whether they are domestic or foreign. Do you see many Mitsu, Mazda, Isuzu, Suzuki, Saab, Fiat, etc? They are foreign brands. Is Tesla a foreign brand? Absoultely not.

It’s a heap of junk compared to a Toyota made in Japan.

American factory workers are some of the stupidest people on earth. They work in car factories because they’re even too dumb to get into the army.


Do people still believe in this myth? Yes Japanese built cars in Japan used to be great....in 80s. Not any more. Japanese auto workers got lazy and less loyal.

I'm the person you replied to. My car is currently six years old and I've only ever had to change the oil. No other maintenance required (other than replacing one set of tires of course). Considering the limited maintenance required compared to other cars which often require special services at 15k or 30k or 60k miles, Toyota's are great. Low maintenance cost and less time in the shop. And it hasn't had any mechanical problems despite only needing oil changes.


Sounds like a piece of shit if in the shop. My best car by comparison was a Dodge. It made it to 18 years old 163,000 miles without a single visit to the shop. Prior owner and me changed our own oil. Prior owner was a women. He had a tire mount thing so did I as has use of friends. I had 18 years of receipts. Only two repairs. A $9 dollar motor mount and $19 dollar muffler. Owner before as so cheap he used “used oil” back in day tax companies sold oil they has prices to strain it out and reuse it and rethreaded tires. Basically used tires they wrap a new thread on like $7-8 dollar each.

I think on my log total repairs and maint was around $137 dollars over 18 years. My damn Camry I had a motor mount break and was so hard to reach I had to go to mechanic and was $600. My Dodge used car jack, raised engine slid in the new motor mount.

It is no wonder the Japanese lost WWII they got shot while fixing their vehicles.

You sound like quite the peach. From your mighty DCUM high-horse, spitting on factory workers and Army soldiers in one sentence.

Factory workers fill important roles, and without them you wouldn't have cars, airplanes and vaccines.

You've obviously haven't spent much time around Army personnel. Like all branches of the military, they pull from all sections of our country and some of them are the best and brightest around. They work in fields like intelligence, cybersecurity, and medicine.

The Toyota made in Japan is pretty similar to one made in the states. The Toyota brand relies on this. I’m pretty sure assembly line and quality control are the same, no matter where the car is manufactured.

If I am not mistaken, line employees at Trenton Engine South must have a 2-year degree.
