Well, not exactly true, as Volvo and Benz used to have much better crash testing data than other brands.
Funny, I never see Benz or Volvo cars in crash tests anymore, wonder what that's all about, eh? Japanese cars DO require less work than American ones -- I've had way too many friends who have driven them hundreds of thousands of miles with nothing but tires, oil changes, and brakes -- and sometimes not even brakes. They don't leak oil, as a rule, either, until old and abused, unlike many 80's GM cars, that dribbled from the factory. Peter
