Why Do Japanese Cars Fall Apart Upon Impact?

[JakeFitz]

Japanese cars tend to fall apart upon impact for the following reasons: 1. Suspected cheating in tests: The actual usage environment of cars is far more complex than laboratory test conditions, which is why many Japanese cars experience axle fractures. The same applies to collision tests—since the test parameters are fixed, Japanese manufacturers can prepare specific countermeasures, akin to knowing the exam questions in advance and preparing answers accordingly. 2. Profit-driven mindset: The Japanese prioritize profits, and given their limited domestic resources, they often cut corners on materials and build quality. While Japanese craftsmanship is renowned, many Japanese cars sold domestically are locally produced with compromised standards. 3. Disparity in domestic and international configurations: Automotive production regulations in China differ significantly from those in the U.S. Certain safety features, such as the number of airbags and front/rear crash beams, are mandatory in the U.S. for market approval. However, many Japanese cars in China lack proper crash beams, sometimes even using foam as a substitute.
