Difference in USA vs Japanese made Toyotas? - Edmunds
I read many replies (from other makes too) that there is no difference between U.S. made cars vs Japan. If the recalls only affect U.S. made cars, and not Japan made cars, this would lead us to believe that the parts come from different supplier. Therefore "different." In the market for a 10 model very soon.
Is "Made in Mexico" necessarily a bad thing? - Edmunds
That said, I own two USA built Japanese cars now (an Accord built in Ohio and an Odyssey built in Alabama) and they are great. However I also once owned a Mexico built Chrysler Sebring convertible and it was very well screwed together.

I spotted an (insert obscure car name here) classic car today
The four American cars are the Corvette Sting Ray, Ford Model T, Ford Mustang and Willys Jeep. There are three Citroens, two Volkswagens (Beetle and Golf) and two Jaguars, but no Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Chrysler, Lincoln, Packard, Auburn, Dusenberg or Cord made the list, so I guess those cars are as historically insignificant as Studebaker.

You know, the funny thing is, I thought those cars made a handsome wagon! Just the right size. And you could get the Eurosport trim and aluminum wheels on the wagon, too, which made it a neat 'sportwagon' with buckets and console if you wanted, and the 2.8 MFI V6 was available which was actually a darling of the magazines then.
Acura TL vs Lincoln MKZ — Car Forums at Edmunds.com
I've got 2 Lincolns, an LS and a Navigator. They are both excellent reliable vehicles. Both made in USA. Consumer Reports hates em, but I've not spent a nickle on either except for oil and wear items like tires in a combined 120,000 miles. (Knocking wood) All that said, I don't like the direction Lincoln is taking now.
Small Diesel Pickups — Car Forums at Edmunds.com
The two young men driving told me they averaged 45 miles to the gallon for the whole trip. That vehicle is available in South America and Australia. NOT in the good old USA. We are given what the Manufacturers think we want. I showed the local Ford dealer the pictures and he could not believe Ford made such a truck.
Importing Canadian Vehicles to the U.S. - Page 2 - Edmunds
Even after the cars were made legal, much of the time the car was still not the same as the U.S. version. The Canadian cars that we are talking about here do not require $2,500+ to make them legal in the U.S..

Pontiac and Buick also had terrible years, although oddly Oldsmobile, which I think was one of the ugliest cars made in 1958 (yet still cool in my book) was only down by around 20% IIRC. In 1959, Edsel sales shrunk to around 45,000, but the model lineup was also cut in half, as the Mercury-based models disappeared, leaving behind essentially a ...
Accord v. Passat — Car Forums at Edmunds.com
Have driven the accord as well. Passat seems to me to be more solid than the accord. I also like the simpler layout of the dash compard to the accord with its multiplt screens. Have had no issues with either passat. Mine is a lease and the dealership included the maintenance at 10K, 20K, 30k. The only thing i have done is put gas in the cars.
