That was a good commercial. This one is lame.

We all know your extremely biased against German cars.....

Why would I be biased against german cars? I have no predisposed bias against any car. I get into ever car I drive and judge it for what it is whether is is Japanese, American, German, Korean, whatever.

There are Japanese cars that I don't like the feel of either.

Please don't make assumptions.

I've owned 5 cars and only one has been Japanese, which I wouldn't call a bias. Before purchasing my SC 5 years ago, I was considering a comparibly priced BMW 3 series but decided on the SC after further research. I was totally open about actually buying a German car.

How does this show a "bias" against German cars? It was a discussion about the likes and dislikes of the feel and ergonomics of cars.

Please tell me why you think I am againt German cars simply because they're German. In the thread I explained all the things that I didn't care for in general when it came to German engineered cars.

Sorry guys for going off topic a bit but I don't like being called a bias person for no reason.

Your postings in that thread shows a clear bias against german cars, to me there is no question about that.

I give up.


We're obviously not enititled to share opinions about cars in a car chat forum.

BTW, just because someone doesn't like the qualities of something doesn't mean they have a bias against it. Makes no sense. Look up the defintion.

Guys please stop. All people have some bias, no one is completely unbiased. Not everyone will like Lexus, not everyone will like the Germans.

Stick to making observations and comments on the TOPIC and not on MEMBERS.
