				| If the criteria is: best equals highest quality and reliability then my rating would be: 1) Japan based
 2) German made
 3) Other European
 4) Korean
 5) U.S. made

				| I think you should have broken it down by manufacturer because not all cars made in Japan are very good. 
 The only car or truck I will buy is Toyota, but I wouldn't own a Nissan even if you wanted to give me one.

				| For myself the only car I would buy is a Dodge 300, But since that is built on the Mercedes platform I guess that makes it more German then North American. For a Truck....... I think a Toyota. _________________

				| I selected other european for swedish cars but then I started thinking if that's correct. Volvo is owned by Ford/GM and SAAB is owned by Opel so neither one of them is swedish anymore  . On the other hand if it's best motorcycles I would have picked Japan based  |  |

				| I would vote for German cars, but my Honda Civic has never let me down. For the looks I would vote the "other european cars".

				| If you want a truck, US-based is a must. One would be hard-pressed to use a little Toyota or the like on a job site. Extended bed-crew cabs.  _________________

				| I voted for Other European even though I just traded for a big Mercury Grand Marquis the other day. The smaller European cars are very nice but they are just to small for me to be able to get really and
 truly comfortable in and be able to get into and out of without any trouble with my long legs and my
 bad back.

				| I bought a 2005 Nissan, because I believe Japan makes the most reliable cars.  4 Months later... I have to have the head on the engine replaced because of a factory oversight or defect.  Good thing I have a good warranty huh? |  |

				| I'm sucker for GM they got me 3 times now. First time car rusted out after 5 years. Second one head gasket went at 92,000 Km warranty was only to 80,000 and they new it was going to happen. My neweast one is a 4x4 and tranny keeps locking up or is sticking in low(still in warranty) but they can't find anything wrong.Untill it gets out of warranty. |  |
