If the first of the Japanese cars were humans in high school, they would belong to the group known by their peculiarity, or as modern day language would call as geeks. And the German cars would be considered the popular jocks.
Japanese cars were known by their size, that it wasn’t as big as the rest were. But it’s undeniable that they are of functional worth, and you can indeed say that they’re made out of good stuff.
Years came and went when Toyotas and Datsuns were already everywhere. Since then, the quality of cars in Japan had been better recognized, and later given them the opportunity to build plants in other countries, such as Australia, Britain and other parts of Europe. Other countries must’ve heard of the Japanese amazing skill that they could transform cork into dexterous vehicles (figuratively), so then more factories followed. The once laughed at cars in Japan became the jocks the cheerleaders are now crying for. Next thing you know, even your kids are already asking for a gorgeous Nissan 350Z for Christmas.
