Now that this forum has split up discussions on conti & Jap makes, wonder why our Conti (except Merz & BMW) makes like Renault, Opel, Seat, Skoda and Fiat are all quite discriminated against as seen by the low resale value. Whereas Jap makes like Mits, Toyota & Nissan have such excellent followings.
I have test drove Skodas , Seats and some Korean & Jap makes and I somewhat still think that the mid-level Conti makes are much superior than the Japs in terms of value for the money.
