Why do Japanese cars have a reputation for being so much more reliable than their American or Euro counterparts?
In: 2
They were notably better until about 20 years ago. And 50 years ago they were A LOT better. Now-a-days most Japanese cars sold in the US are designed specifically for the US and have a lot of the manufacturing done in the US south. Also, automation is more widely used, and techniques the japanese developed in the 60s and 70s have been adopted in all industries all over the world. The quality of all cars, whoever makes them, are a lot higher than they were in say the 1980s; so believe it or not, it kinda matters less.
