For a while. The Japanese was just as bad, if not worst. Early Civic's were great for head gaskets and being complete rust buckets. My 1990 Nissan Hardbody 4x4. The inner fenders and bed rusted out in 7 years.

Yeah, you are right. My '79 Civic had pretty poor paint and were also know for the shock towers rusting out. But, it never let me down and always started no matter the weather. I had a Maverick that wouldn't start on a beautiful summer day...totally at random. My big three cars were always leaving my stranded. The Japanese cars were just better engineered.
