Here in the U.K. we have Toyata factories,Nissan factories,BMW (mini) factories etc.
I personally own an Honda Jazz ( japanese ) and a Smart 4-2 ( German ).
Ive had no problems with either car, but i think the main consideration to be made is that neither of my cars are mass produced.I have owned vauxhalls ( opel ) and fords which are both nice cars,but there seems to be lack of quality control.
We just need to look at the best cars in the world, and they are nearly all hand made.
So i dont think its a case of where a car is made, but how it is made.
For the average consumer, what nationality's carmakers build the better car?
American (Why?)
British (Why?)
Chinese (Why?)
French (Why?)
German (Why?)
Italian (Why?)
Japanese (Why?)
Korean (Why?)
Swedish (Why?)
Other (What is it?)
