It's all perception.

When an American car breaks down (after its been thoroughly ragged out), people call it "JUNK".

When a European car breaks down (after its been thoroughly babied), people just call it "tempermental".

There are good and bad cars of every nationality. It's up to the manufaturer, not the country where it is produced.

So, so true. Some in here need to lay off the American car bashing. Remember that the MINI has a Chrysler engine under the hood.
