    This sub has selective memory… the Japanese brands have had huge issues since the 2000s. Honda/Acura automatic transmissions in early 2000 models failing. Engine sludge buildup issues in Toyota engines. More recently lots of AC issues and failures with Honda cars. Oil dilution issues with the Honda L15 turbo engine. Etc.

    These are quality issues, most recent ones are caused by cost cutting and cutting corners with parts and production to make more money per car sold. Paint quality in a Honda has been shit ever since they switched to water based.

      My favorite thing is how they’re put on this pedestal but Chevy and ford get shit on because V8’s might need a recall on a Dis or a manifold. JDM is more like “the whole engine is set to fail at 60k miles unless you take apart the engine, and our Autos are made of glass” meanwhile we still have dragsters using old American tech to go as fast as possible.

      There’s a reason a LS1 swap kit is available for every car/truck out there

      This. Since 2000, Honda has had serious brakes, engine, and transmission problems. So many people remember the 90s when they think of Honda.
