Pfft.. because on average they're better in what counts, a good mix of balance, speed, performance and styling. Actual HP numbers, and how quick you can hit 60mph mean nothing in real world or track driving.
And fyi "imports" include more than just Japanese cars which I figure is what you think I'm solely referring to.

Hondas are made like a damn rock. They will NEVER fail you. I wonder what the stereotype is, someone who doesn't want to fix their car?

Don't diss the 3 series. It is so fun to drive it should be illegal. And they look nice too. I don't get why being popular is a bad thing, there is a reason so many people buy the Accord and Camry, because they are just flat out better the the other cars in their class.
If you really want to be that different then buy some junker and rice it out.
Oh I don't have any real problem with a 3 series, it's just that they're FAR too popular (hence the civic comparison) especially in NYC.
Combine that with the fact that BMW hasn't had any real change to the styling since the current version was introduced waaaaaay back fuckin' when and you pretty much see the same car every ten seconds... especially silver(Jesus people, be individuals).
I'm simply tired of seeing it, which is why it would never be considered as a possible purchase.

Ahh, I love that car!!!!
I had a 1985 BMW back in the day, but sold it in 98 when this guy made me a offer I couldn't refuse. I actually think cars drove better before ABS. ABS just seems to kill a lot of the feel you used to have in older cars.

You rock. Late 60's - Early 80's muscle cars are where it's at. I drive a Datsun 240z at the mo, you can't beat a car with no power steering, no ABS brakes or airbags to keep you on your toes. If I had the coins I'd have a livery consisting of a Tbird, 69 Corvette Stingray, Dodge Charger and a Model T based hot rod
As for modern cars, I'd have a Mazda RX-8 for everyday use, and a 2005 Ford GT to crash into supermarkets with.
Back on topic, all I notice is that BMW 5 or 6 series drivers are total cockheads. AND:

actually me and a buddy of mine were having a similar conversation a few days ago, and we both came to the conclusion that the Mustang is slowly becoming a girly car. I almost always see young (16-25) girls driving them, at least the newer models, not the classic ones.

The very definition of chick car:
Also, I always noticed (around here anyway) that a very high number of guys that drive Jettas are gay. It's funny to see that the link in this thread earlier coincides with that.

VW is the gayest chick car company ever. And I say this as a true-blue fan of the Golf GTi and the ultimate VW, the Corrado. But besides those two VR6-powered badasses, everything else VW makes might as well come with a rainbow sticker and a collection of Broadway musicals. If you drive a Jetta, you love the cock.
Now my car, MR2 Spyder, says I've got a huge wang, and I don't need to compensate in any way. Matter of fact, the fact that it's a smaller car makes my package seem even bigger than its already monstroud dimensions. Yup, a regular pussy wagon. LOL! Seriously though, Miatas and Jettas and Beetles...San Fran or Bust. PEACE.

What about the Passat W8? 270hp of kick your ass up the wall with 8 cylinder ownage, xenon lamps and all wheel drive in a classic ride? Oh no my friend, VWs are definitely not gay/chick cars.

I wipe my ass with 40 grand.... and promptly put it back in my account where it belongs.
But I obviously wasn't being serious about the Passat comment, just running with the joke heh. That said, even though it's fairly nice I still wouldn't buy it for two reasons.
1- It falls into the "nice car, too bad I like blah, blah and blah better" category.
2- If I won 250 million in the lottery I still wouldn't spend more than 35 thousand on a single vehicle. I was raised with more sense than that.
Plus, I'd go with their sister brand (Audi, A4 specifically) before I'd buy a Passat.

I drive a silver Jetta with black leather. My buddies get a lot of milage out of the gay and chick car jokes. I'm used to it though, I love my car.
And note, I am not in any way, shape, or form gay.

anecdote:
i drive my jetta to the store to pick up some groceries; it's a totally routine trip. i go in, pick up some ramen, half rack of pabst, some bagels, what have you. i go back outside and my car isn't where i parked it. i take a look around the parking lot, and what do i find but my jetta in a back alley totally sucking this other car's dick.

Dodge Neons are total chick cars, so are Jettas... whenever I see a Jetta, I think of a sorority college girl with a headband and a ponytail and a fake tan.
Around here, if you see people driving around in Mustangs or Camaros, they're guidos (the joke is that IROC stands for Italian Retard Out Cruisin)... and considering I'm from LI, there sure as hell is a lot of them.
Lexus SUV's are another popular one... usually driven by soccer moms...
It seems that Jews around here always buy Japanese luxury cars (Lexus, Acura), never an American or a German car... but lots of wealthy, older Italians own Mercedes, BMWs...
The Mexican migrant workers around here all drive beat up Corollas or Sentras from 1989, with a million dents in them.
Indians around here always drive around in burgundy colored American sedans, or old Corollas as well.
I drive a Honda Accord... haven't riced it up tho =P

Gotta disagree on this one.
Come to Brooklyn and you'll never see as many high-end and BMW's as you do in the Sephardic (sp?) Jewish neighborhoods here. Honestly, in a mere 3 block X 6 block area, there has to be at least 250 of them, not to mention hundreds of Lexus' and Acuras.- Status
