This discussion belongs 50 years ago. In this modern age the lines between brands are being blurred. Proton Savvy is a Malaysian car with a Conti engine. The new Merc pickup is a Nissan Navara underneath. Lexus and Infiniti are being compared favourably to BMW and Audi. JLR is owned by Indians, Volvo owned by Chinese, VW owned by Arabs etc. As for who 'makes' the car, engineers, designers, management and workforce are made up of people of every nation. And that's before you include assembly. The Toyota Camry is the most American car in America if you consider where all the parts come from. Toyota Crown feels like Conti car, Renault Captur feels like Asian car.
For a more traditional answer, if you drive Conti car ppl think you rich, drive Asian car ppl think you can't afford Conti lol.
Get into two similar priced car from conti and jap, like a VW Passat/Pug 408 vs Toyota Camry and Honda Accord.For a more traditional answer, if you drive Conti car ppl think you rich, drive Asian car ppl think you can't afford Conti lol.
Drive the car around, go over some potholes, tackle some corner tad too fast.
Most should able to tell the difference.
Also, Cont makes and Jap makes are not about origin of brand, owner or manufactured location. It's more about the heritage they carry over.
