That's very true. Aside from BMW and MB, most other brands are playing dress up.
Not to mention that the Japanese companies cant design anything original
I remember when they all balked at the Bangle designs and now they copy them mostly.
the ISF is trying to replace the 3 series , good luck
lexus is a nice car, but in Japan its just a nice toyota without the huge markup
I would buy Japanese cars if they didnt rebadge and then add 10k to their prices because "American markets are loaded" as a rep from Fuji industries once said to me
