Two out of the ten vehicles listed are American brands and both of those are Fords.

Have a nice Day,

#10 - and in addition to that this retro crap looks like a well shaped piece of shit.

Newer style beetles literally have no resale around here, nice looking ones can be sold for less than 2,000 asking price.

Actually, the Jaguar and the 2 Mazdas were Fords at the time. Since Mazda split the sheets with Ford, they've become class leaders in several classes (the new Mazda 3 and Mazda 6 are both outstanding vehicles).

Technically nothing else than a Volkswagen Golf (are they still named "Rabbit" in the USA?), and the bodywork design is a poor poor poor remake of the legendary "Käfer" (Bug).

The Land Rover was probably using Lucas Electrics aka The Prince of Darkness.

Glad to see no GM on the list.

German automobile magazines reported for many many years used cars from Japan (forgot the brands) being the most reliable ones.
