Three words describe Japanese built vehicles, most notably a Toyota or Honda.
1. Durability
2. Quality
3. Reliability
USA and Canadian Buyers are tired of driving vehicles that don't give them a great value. Consumers are also concerned with crash protection. Did you know Honda was the first to build it's own safety testing facility in Tochigi, Japan, the world's first omni-directional crash test facility.
The old argument of suporting our domestic auto manufacturers and keeping jobs and wages in the U.S. just doesn't cut the mustard any longer. While the origin of the Japanese vehicle may be Japan, most are now built in North America by American citizens.
Buyers want results, such as safe braking, fuel economy, accident-avoidance capability, comfort, and ergonomics. Despite improved reliability among American brands, Japanese brands have fewer reported problems, notably Honda and Toyota.

Because they're made better and last longer. I've had American and Japanese cars and the Japanese ones are far superior. All the Japanese ones I've had have gone over 100,000 miles before I traded them in. The most I've ever gotten out of an American vehicle was about 75,000 miles before it needed major work.

because it was reveiled in the late 80's that the big american car manufacturers were practicing whats called "planned obsolescence". Thats when you experiment how many times you can roll the window down before the mechanism breaks and the person will have to buy a new door, at a really hefty fee, then they plan how long they want the door to last, that way they know when people will come back for a new door, or turnsignal or whatever.

Japanese cars are much better at save gas mileage, good engines, and can run very long time without collapsed.
America SUV used too much gas to fill in them. If the people brough new car, later if the car break down, that the people need to fix the car, then it may restart to move again.

Mostly because of price, endurance, and Style. My mom and dad both have Hondas [My mom owns '06 CIVIC Coupe, My dad, '06 CIVIC Si]. Basically, most new drivers start out with Hondas or Nissan cars because of affordability. If you're a big $pender, get yourself a Good yet stylish Nissan Vehicle, In this case, i would choose a 350Z. If you want to stick with a Honda, get yourself an Accord or a CIVIC.

It is mostly do to preconditioning. The general public, and even the critics have preconditioned themselves into believing that American made cars are inferior to the imports. In many cases, the American made cars are equivalent, or even superior to the related import competitor - take a look at JD Powers' IQS and VDS reports!

Because they're better made, last longer, have fewer problems and are cheaper than the equivalent US car. Read Consumer Reports' car issue.

Because most Americans are dense and only remember when American cars were not so good. Now they just go and buy them out of reflex without even bothering to check out what American cars have to offer.
