In my opinion, I think these Japanese cars are very good but very few people want to buy them...
Japanese engineers keep doing what they think the best is and NO COMPROMISE!!!
Japanese cars' suspensions are a little less refined than German cars. But, they can make some compromises like Korean cars to let their cars more fun.
Japanese engineers do make better engines but their engines are usually less power and slower. Why? The reason is they want their engines to run at least 20 years without any major problems!!!
Unfortunately, most of the people like FAST and FUN cars!!!
As a result, they make the best engineering cars but not the best marketing cars...
