Do you see more old american cars still on the road or more old import cars still on the road?

By the way, you pretty much get what you pay for no matter what brand you buy. If you buy a $15,000 car and a $50,000 car, the latter is going to be made with higher quality parts, better craftsmenship, etc. You can't compare an american fast food joint with a japanese gourmet restaurant and simply conclude that japanese food is better.
