Like everybody else said, American cars suck. Also, if you're from Asia (instead of just born to Asian parents in the US), Asian-made cars are going to be most familiar to you. Japanese cars are everywhere in Asian; American cars, nowhere.
And in my limited experience, thriftiness is still more of a reigning ethos in Asia (outside of Japan, maybe) than our buy-it-and-throw-it away Western consumer culture. Thriftiness doesn't mean spending the least money; it means buying things that give you the most value for your money, like a Japanese car that'll run for 250K with moderate repairs rather than an American car that's a POS at 120K.
