Japanese Companies makes the best Sedans

A report from Forbes claims that Japanese companies make the best sedans in the world. Americans on the other hand excel more at making pickup trucks. However, Japan fails to deliver when it comes to super expensive Sedans. Reason is simple; they do not sell cars that are more expensive than USD 60,000!

Forbes reports show that Japanese cars dominate the market comprehensively. They excel in factors like reliability, owner satisfaction, safety, and depreciation. German equivalents might lead in factors like ownership experience… but Japanese gives out the best value for money cars scoring points in all the fields. Reputed companies like Mercedes have suffered in the survey due to recent reports of poor reliability.

In fact, some of the most expensive cars from Mercedes: S-Class and E-Class have received the rating of poor for reliability levels. Japanese models like Lexus scores exceptionally well in this field. However, Mercedes still commands a premium due to its brand value and iconic status in the society. The media powerhouse had this list of its top ten sedans of 2005:
