We used to have this mentality back home: Normal cars- only German made , if you can't afford normal car- buy Japanese,as a second best option,which really is the worst option. And the rest of the brands? Nobody really buys them unless they are crazy.

Funny, I guess we the low-rent version growing up: Chevy cars and Ford Trucks. Oh, the comments when the redesigned Dodge RAM showed up and some folks bought it. Now if I had to choose, I would probably buy a taco (Toyota Tacoma).

For sedans, perhaps. The quality and reliability (and looks) of American trucks vs. cars can be a bit different.

I stand by my Mazda, though. 2014, 110k and it has only needed a replacement alternator.
