'jap crap' is either an ignorant or silly statement, somewhat ironic given
the thread.

The idea of a $COUNTRY made car is over, and has been over for quite some
time.  The marketing departments try to convince us it isn't typically with
the "built tough for $COUNTRY conditions" blah.

Seriously, how much Japanese is there is a Japanese car these days (or
whatever country you prefer).

Hail a taxi in Bahrain, and odds are it'll be a Toyota.  Japanese, right?

Well, it was probably assembled in Australia with the chassis locally made,
the engine was assembled in Mexico (with the pistons & crankshaft made in
the USA), the air conditioning comes from Thailand, steering from Australia
(I think, left/right drive?), tyres from Malaysia and so on.

Yup, Japanese all right.  

Try it on your favourite brand.  (For extra lolz, try it on Harley Davidson,
the anti-'jap crap', sometime.)
