Lexus, Acura, Infiniti. Why cant these top tier Japanese brands compete with western brands like bmw, Benz or even audi, what more to say porsche lambo McLaren.

Is it our asian engineering is poorer and western has better technology or we purposely produce inferior cars so that we can sell cheaper?

Because their parent companies which are more famous also make cars for other segments.

Shouldn't it be the other way round?

Western cars are notoriously fickle to maintain.

I once read a comment about European vs Japanese cars.

Both would be meticulously designed and engineered. However, the Japanese would take in consideration of their customers: the worst possible scenarios and habits such as rough driving, not serious about maintenance etc.

Japanese: "How would the worst drivers handle our car, lets take that into account."

Whereas the Europeans are like "fack you, we designed the cars this way, you follow our manual exactly to the letter. If anything goes wrong, it's obviously your fault for not following it."
