I bought a brand new passat station wagon years ago. And in the first 12months i had to replace the oil pump, power steering pump and water pump all due to leaks.

Insurance is higher because the parts cost so much.

Yep, replacing a cup-holder on my Saab will run you $400+. Adding XM radio something like $500. Brakes at least twice as much as any Toyota/Lexus. So if the Japanese can do it for half the price, why can't the Germans and the Swedes?

Speaking of the Japanese, some interesting designs are trickling out from across the Pacific, like the new NSX:
