Thumbs up Lawnmowers and Cars Made in Japan - 08-24-2009, 04:06 AM

Many years ago brand named items such as Honda, Mazda, Seiko, Casio, etc. were made in Japan.

Many of these products are now made in third countries like Thailand and China.

I feel that Japanese made goods offer superior quality and workmanship.

A Japanese owned factory in Thailand wouldn't use Japanese workers and Thai people tend to be very laid back and cut corners.

This has come up as you will notice my LawnMower Ava which is a Honda, apparantly the best within gardening circles..

I've noticed a lot of Japanese swear blind that Japan is best..

Is this true?

What's your choice. Would you purchase a SONY Camera which is made in Japan or Thailand, or wouldn't it sway you?


Cheers - Oz
