I would never touch anything German made willingly, but I will buy Japanese products... I don't like it that I'm buying Japanese products, but I can tell you first hand that most Japanese-built products or Japanese products built in Asia are far superior than anything else in the world unfortunately. Japanese cars that are built in America are junk. The cars are built under the rules of the ridiculous beauracracy (Use your imagination what kind of people they're forced to hire in their factories in the States, mmmm hmmmm) have corners cut to compensate for the expense of building them here. In Australia, where all Japanese cars used to be exclusively imports until recently, people still drive around in 30-40 year old models. If you want a Japanese car, look at the VIN. If it was built in Japan, the first character will be a "J".
Again, I despise the Germans so much, I will never touch their products and I'm meticulous in avoiding both their products and their software whenever possible.
