Angel Klym: The import cars crush easier because it is a safety thing they do. It cushes so the force of impact won't hurt you as much. If you have a car that doesn't crush easier you will feel the impact more. I'm assuming that the american cars you are talking about are older muscle cars. The american manufactures are making cars that crush easier now.
Nilda Bafia: Import Steel is sh*t. America has better manufactures and resources, but the thing is money. We like things cheaper, that's why people don't care if they have to buy a new car every 10yrs because their chassis rot out. I've a 1965 CJ5, sat for 15yrs, went outside with a screwdriver, battery, and a gas can, and started within 10minutes. Leave a fuel injected Honda sitting for 5yrs and you're going to need a lot of work done.-I challenge you to go get a broken (don't risk breaking a perfectly good one) cast iron pan from the 1950s-1970s. Go buy a $10-20 Chinese Cast Iron pan from wherever. I gurantee you ! if you whack both as hard as you can, the American one wont break nearly as easy as the Chinese one. I bet you could use the American one as a hammer, while the chinese one you could use as a paperweight...Show more
Norris Rosener: Will depend on the race if i am racing on a road course i might be biased towards an import or a pony automobile. On a immediately i might take the muscle car. The American automobile that can do good in both environments is surely the corvette it has right away vigour and the handling of a small nimble auto. Apart from in modern day world the muscle cars racing days are in the back of it. You purchase muscle cars in these days considering that they stand out in a crowd. They're also high-quality babe lures. Imports either look like the whole lot else on the road or are too steeply-priced to buy and maintain, You try getting Mercedes or jaguar constituents it can be a affliction even for the more fashioned versions....Show more
Elaina! Adolfson: First, most cars made by Asian companies and sold i! n the U.S. are made in the U.S. Toyotas, Hondas, etc., that are sold in the U.S. are usually made in the U.S., Canada, or Mexico. At one time, there more Toyota Camrys being built in the U.S. than any other car. Almost no cars are imported to the U.S. from Asia. On the other hand, many Chrysler cars sold in the U.S. have been made in Canada.Second, if the "import" (which, again, was probably made in the U.S. and not an import) crushed much easier, that means that it was the better car. When a car crushes in an accident, most of the energy and forces goes into crushing the car, and very little goes into hurting the humans inside, so they live, often with little or no injuries. If a car is "stronger", like you describe the cars from "American" companies (although not necessarily from factories in the U.S.) being, then all the force and energy of the accident goes into the bodies of the humans in the car, and usually kills them.So, the answer to your question, is that th! e "American" companies made the "stronger" cars cheaply, without enough regard for the lives of the humans in them, while the "Asian" companies spent the money to make their cars (in the U.S.) crushable enough to save the lives of the humans in the car....Show more
Aron Ramu: Nice to know its a safety feature other than just them being weak. I was worried about buying a Toyota Celica for a second after hearing my dad talk about the body structures but now i feel more confident at imports. Which just adds onto my already present love of imports :)
