    Not only that but Toyota as an example does a lot to localize their products. So for example, a Toyota built in the Northern parts of North America will have better winterizing. Whereas a Toyota built in a coastal area like much of Japan will be resistant to salt water spray.

    While OP is trying to imply that Toyota is selling crap to American’s because they think Americans are so stupid they’ll never noticed, the fact is that a car built for Japan will not last as long in America as a car built for Americans.

      the fact is that a car built for Japan will not last as long in America as a car built for Americans.

      This was really noticeable with 1970’s japanese vehicles. They weren’t great. But they improved.
