Only the W123 diesels and the old diesel G Wagen come close to the Toyota and Honda reliability that you are getting, the term Jap-crap, rice burners etc. are more to do with prejudice and racism than with any substance, as a dedicated Japanese motorcycle rider, I can well relate to that, never would the guys on Harleys give us thumbs up, one Harley rider tried racing me from stop light to stop light, I was on a brand new not broken in Yamaha FZR, point is I was just going through the gears when this dude on a Harley with his woman in the back thought I was racing him, needless to say, every stoplight he got blown to pieces, unfair to go up against a full blown race bike with turn signals strapped on against a cruiser not meant to rev high, he was furious and we almost came to blows when he got down from his ride and started screaming obscenities, thats a typical Harley rider for you, maybe there are some good ones with nice attitude, I am yet to find one.
