I couldn't agree with you more! None of those brands are even close to the Japanese in terms of quality. Only BMW is even above the industry average but they still follow the likes of many Japanese and American nameplates. Out of the top 15 nameplates for best quality only 2 (BMW and Jaguar) aren't American or Japanese (that is if you call Jaguar non-American).

I like the way the Porsche feels when pushed much better than the japanese cars I have driven. I have not had the pleasure to drive the S2000 or an Elise, I have read you really need to keep the revs high to get great speed with the 2000. The Elise is supposed to get a bigger motor soon, I'm sure it will be a rockin car, however, I don't care for it's Bug Face looking front structure at all.

My latest Mercedes was a rolling turd. To make matters worse, my dealership was unbelievably incompetent, not to mention crooked. Having enough **************** in my life to worry about already, I sold the car to a guy I really don't like. I feel better already.
