Japanese cars peaked sometime in the late '90s in terms of quality. They've been coasting on nothing but reputation ever since. Go into a Camry or Accord--cheap plastic bits everywhere, crappy switchgear. Or go look up the engine sludge issue Toyotas have been having, or the rusted out frames on the Toyota Tundra. Or the floormat "unintended acceleration" issue. I could go on.

Go on, the world needs to hear!!

that's funny. I went into a new civic the other day. This is the base model and interior is top notch. I haven't found another car in it's class with well layed out interior such as that. The accord with the same thing. Both incredibly well made cars. Now when i checked out the cobalt. Thats a whole other story, interior is crap plastic, and everything seems to fall apart after say 3-4 years.

I've been in your precious foreign cars and they are no better than American. The hondas are incredibly ugly, inside and out and they are made of plastic too. Come back to me after you have driven for 40 years and we'll talk then.

You see what you want to see. Unfortunately for America, more Toys are being sold than Malibus. It's a matter of time before your job goes overseas.

@yorktoncotereserve Don't underestimate the so called "chinks" They've been whooping GM's ass for a long time while GM has been gone to go cry to the government for help in their corporatist strategies. They've been doing this shit since the 70's and killed of alot of rail at that time to with the monopoly trucking industry. So fuck GM overall. Free marketing companies like toyota and honda have done a far better job through the market than GM and Chrysler has. No arguments

@EpiDemic117 jap is crap chink is for dinks  chevy all the way

[blackimpreza07]

@EpiDemic117 Older Chevys were crap. The Cobalt sucked. Compare the Civic to the Chevy Cruze. The Malibu with out a doubt tops the Accord and Camry and still could improve a lot. I do like Honda better then Toyota though

I must say that I am very pleased with this car I just bought an LTZ however at only 10k miles I hear knocking in the engine not good I just sold my audi a6 with over 150k miles and you can't even hear that it's on. But I'm still going to give me Malibu a shot lucky its still under warranty but seriously nothing is toping European Cars I miss my audi good post tho dude keep it up.

When I go look at the interior of a Accord I nearly have a heart attack because of the very poor button layout on the center console. I really can't figure out what is going on beyond thinking someone just threw the buttons on the console in a random manner and then someone else took the shortest route to making it make "sense". And why are the buttons so huge?

And where is the display? About 50 miles due north. That's where. I also don't like the curve but that's personal taste.

Don't forget the stuck accelerators (and those don't need the help of the floor mats).
