Hot on the heels of "Why do people buy Holdens?" .. "Why do people buy Jap/Korean cars?". I'm getting tired of listening to people argue Ford/Holden so I thought I'd try to direct the "anger" to where it deserves.
Don't get me wrong, I agree that Jap manufacturers are great at building things to high quality and Koreans are great at building things to a cheap price. As a gross generalisation (is there anything better!  ) neither of them can build anything with style or presence. They just regurgitate the ideas of others (European/American) .. albeit usually mechanically better (Japanese only!). To me this '61 Toyopet will ALWAYS typify Japanses cars; shameless copies of some elses junk (in this case some Pommy POS)  In my reality [the warm, comfortable place where I live], this is the equivalent American-based, V8 of the same era:  It might be a a big, agricultural, fuel guzzling tank .. but it's got style .. and 45 years after it's manufacture it's still worth something. |
