Ricers vs. American
lol, when you guys are saying that you love Japaneese cars like Honda, all I can do is lauph. 90% (including engine and tranny)of parts you see in every 'Japaneese' car is produced either in Ontario or Michigan.
My dad is a truck driver and the company he works for is a carrier of car parts. All the cars that we see on the roads are produced domesticly. So how is Civic more Japaneese then Cavalier. Both of them made by Americans from American parts.
Lets take Ford for example. Mazda 6 is produced on the ford plant in michigan that produces Tauruses. Ford owns Mazda and Mazda is a great way for them to make money. Mazda is considered non domestic vehicle there fore they can boost up the price on it dramatically.
Another downside on Japaneese cars is lack of hp and tourqe at normal rpm. Supped up civic can be 190hp at what, 9000 rpm. LMAO, who is going to drive the car at 9000 rpm at this gas prices and how long will that engine last. Ya they are easier to fix (some you say), well, how many of us fix the cars themselves. If you take a car to mechanic for some reason domestic cars are cheaper to fix then Japaneese, why is that? Aren't Japaneese cars easier to fix?
I drove regular civic si (I own Z24, 2002) and what a contrast compared to cavalier. If you are going uphill, you have to press that pedal in order for the car to move. You have to floor it to feel some power.
I think Japaneese cars are in such a demand only cos it is part of culture. It is just cool to have Japaneese car "Hands Down". Oh yeah, don't forget the Type R sticker and huge and loud exaust, that will give you another 25 hp at 9000 rpm.
