That's like the BMW and Mercedes fanboys who rave on and on about how great German engineering is because back in the 80's those cars were superior to the crap Detroit was producing back in the day. Now it's kind of a joke. IMO Japanese engineering has taken a step back (Honda reliability sure isn't what it used to be) and American engineering is at least as good now as anything else (my wife's '05 v6 mustang has 240k on the clock and is still going).

Actually Nissan makes a bunch of $h*t cars IMO. I mean, I'd never own a Versa; it's cheap junk. The Z and GT-R are literally the only things Nissan makes currently that I'd own. And most Japanese cars are boring as crap. I literally can't think of one current model offhand that I'd buy other than the 2 Nissans I mentioned.
Considering all of the crap ALL of the American companies made from the mid 70's on up to about the early 2000's. Crap materials, crap reliability, crap designs. It was horrible for a good 40 years for American vehicles. Hence why more than half of them went out of business over the years.

Japanese and European manufacturers have had fuel injection, disc brakes and independent suspension for the past 30+ years. And then variable valve timing all the way back in 1980, thanks to Alfa Romeo, then Honda with their VTEC in 1989.

The Japanese and European manufacturers were always the leaders in automotive technology (among many other areas as well). Granted, American engineering and quality has finally come a long way, but only in the last 10 years or so, and especially in the last 4 to 5 years.
