Honda Still on Top in U.S., Says Consumer Reports
AV, I give you that interiors in VW are better and Dollar/Euro/Yen deal. But about parts - this is where you are wrong. Not many VW parts are shipped from Europe. Most parts used for VW service are aftermarket parts which could be made in USA/Canada/Mexico/Asia. And even those OEM part, which come with your car are likely to be made in Asia and now Russia. Russia is automakers’s new land. Almost all brands now have manufacturing facility there because Russia also has any resource you need.
Audis are made in Russia now. And what is Audi? - right! - VW! Old Japanese cars? There are plenty on the road. It is really depends which part of the contry - some have more and others less. Last car I sold 2 years ago was 1989 240SX. And a guy still drives it. And one more thing. Many Japanese cars are in such good shape that they don’t look old. My 10 year old protege has 2 small dents and no rust, shines and no smoke comes out of exhaust.
You really need to know the model to tell how old it is.
