Is that because you own a Viper and it's an unreliable Dodge?

Most Japanese cars don't do anything for me and they are typically the most reliable. Lexus builds a hell of a car, but I really don't want one. Infinitis are cool, I like the FX the most out of the line.

Yes, I find most Acuras to be rather boring to tell you the truth.

Cars I don't find boring are not the most reliable.....Benz, BMW, Audi, Jaguar, SAAB, Volvo, and of course high end sports cars.

Also, I don't care about your friends and their car exploits .
Exactly. Boring is a matter of opinion. People will ultimately buy what they like. Regardless of what consumer reports or JD Power says about the car. But to get back to my original point which is that the Japanese unquestionably build the most well rounded car in terms of reliability (they are the best), and performance. Style is a matter of opinion.

Exploits? Do you mean ordeal or adventures?

Ok. That's one unreliable car I would buy.

So what other stereotypes are you buying into? :fag:
Oh yeah. Lexus has so many problems with there cars. I read that all the time.

And all that hoopla about the Japanese making good cars. It's stereotype as well. For years the Jap automakers have been using subliminal messages in their TV ads. "Our cars good." "German, Swedish cars bad." Jap auto makers have also undermined certain reputable consumer advice sources into falsely reporting results in favor of their autos. Read about it in the next issue of Star Magazine.

plus I heard Nissan's quality is good but who knows
The new Maxima kinda looks like a Saturn on steroids.

I had a 2000 though. It was a good car. No major complaints. I liked it a lot overall. Only problem I had was when the dealer installed new ignition coils (long story) and the mechanic didn't install one of the plugs correctly. Needless to say it came flying out of my engine. They tried to tell me that it unthreaded itself. They admitted they were at fault in the end. I had two Maximas. Never had a problem with either. Had over 70k on each.
