Apparently you do not frequent old cars shows, there are lots of basic vehicles like those you reference, from model 'Ts' on up to cars for the eighties. I have a '71 Pinto I take to shows. There are Falcon, Corvair and Valiant car clubs all over the US. You don't see Toyopet, Tercel or even Camry clubs, however. I see cars from GB, France. Even Italian car at shows which are not the poster cars for dependability. I suspect, from what I have seen in my years in the business, is that the limited availability and cost of parts as the reason Japanese cars are more likely to disappear over time, plus the average Toyota buyer is not considered a car guy who would keep and old car. Toyota buyers are more like appliance buyers, who use their appliances till they die and then junk them. You hear from Toyota buyer like that in this NG all the time mike hunt .

The German cars were made to be expensive and stylish, the Japanese cheap and dependable. It's not that they don't exist, just that they were never stylish to begin with. Do you see alot of Ford Fairmonts and Ford Escorts? How about Chevy Chevettes? |
