[quote=AN]When talking reliability, I think the Japanese (Honda, Toyota, Nissan) have the German beat. My 8 years old G35 is still running like a champ with almost 100k miles and a couple of track days. …[/quote]
True story! Happened not 30 min ago.
I was filling up with gas. At the pump behind me pulled up a Lexus RX300.
The mechanics at the station practically sprinted up to the woman who got out of the Lexus and started pumping gas.
Mechanic: “We like your car!”
Woman: “Thank you!”
Mechanic: “What year is it?”
Woman: “It’s a 2001.”
Mechanic: “Well we love those cars.”
Woman: “So do I! I recommend it to everyone. It has been sooo reliable. Well, I did have to replace the transmission, but the shop said that is a known problem area for these.”
Mechanic: “How many miles do you have on it?”
Woman: “I just turned over 100,000.”
