Interesting list. But Im a little opposed to it because I dont think you could fairly rate vehicles from country vs. country. It really depends on the car company. For example, Mazda is a Japanese company, but is 40% owned by Ford. Daewoo is Korean, but is owned by Chevy. Nevertheless, I understand the meaning of the list. 5 stars for Honda and Toyota, minus a star for Mitsubishi. I'd never buy a Jap cause I think thier boring and I'd rather have American.
