What the driver said is basically correct, except that the German models have better control than the Japanese models, but the failure rate is much higher than the Japanese models. In the relatively mature North American automobile market, the sales volume of German models is far lower than that of Japanese models.
Japan’s Aisin gearbox has a global monopoly.
Almost all cars have Japanese "blood" flowing through them. Whether you are a Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi or Porsche, especially the three key components of electronic control components, electronic control modules and automatic transmissions, the world is almost monopolized by Japan.
Chinese cars are particularly dependent on Japanese spare parts, and Mitsubishi engines are more or less used in Zhonghua, Hongqi, Chery, Geely, BYD, etc.
One-third of Apple mobile phones are made from Japanese parts.
Without computers and mobile phones with Japanese components, the earth would not exist yet.
The ID card is also a Japanese product, made by Japan's Fuji Xerox Company.
This means that as long as you buy a car, no matter what kind of car it is, you are donating bullets to Japan. In the face of economic globalization, boycotting Japanese goods is a joke and a paradox. Boycotting Japanese goods should start by burning ID cards, smashing computers, and throwing mobile phones! Otherwise, it’s just nonsense!
