I once had a 1986-1/2 Toyota Supra. It was an incredible car, drove like a dream and had very comfortable seats. Toyotas do last.
Driving I-10 and I-40 between CA and NM two or three times a year 20 -30 years ago on two separate occasions I saw terrible wrecks where Honda cars were literally cut in half. They appeared back in the 1980s and 1990s to be so fragile I would not consider buying one although their reliability and performance were good. I would like to survive an accident.
Although I am not sure I think it was Honda which at one time offered to supply the US with free vehicles for safety tests which offer was initially accepted. It was discovered the Japanese company had specially constructed the donated vehicles to perform well in crash tests, double welding floor pans and more. Afterwards the government agency then bought the vehicles to be tested randomly off car lots. Here is a more recent cheating from Suzuki.
