Just a personal opinion, based on years of driving and working on all sorts of cars. I like their style, how they extract the maximum from the minimum, the attention to detail and their basic philosophy of how to build a car. Every part of a japanese car is not only funtional, but of a simple and elegant design. Where a Ford for example would use 50 twisted, ugly and heavy suspension components in a design, the Japanese would do the exact same thing with 10 strong, lightweight components. Their engines, especially Acura/Honda, set the standard imo in terms of smoothness, efficiency, reliability and power.

Their success in motorsport over the last 30 years is a big reason for all of this.

Halx, that new RL sounds phenomenal. Its amazing how their sedans are just getting better and faster. AWD is a beautiful thing.
