For millions of new car buyers, the reliability of the car and the price-performance ratio are the most important factors in the final decision to buy a car. But the popularity of the "Japanese" lies in the innovative design. Japanese car brands successfully compete with European and American car brands. non-standard approaches allow japanese automotive companies to evolve and not stop there. In recent years, many new electronic technologies have appeared in new Japanese cars, many of which seemed fantastic only 5-7 years ago.
Toyota is the best selling car in the world
Japan’s most popular brand is certainly the "toyota" company. But it is not only the most popular car manufacturer in the land of the rising sun. The fact is that for several years toyota occupies the first place in the world in terms of the number of new cars sold. This success has been made possible by the special policy of the company within the company, the requirements for the quality of components supplied and the quality of assembly of new vehicles. But the main thing – it is the cost of production and factory selling prices. Thanks to the specific marketing policy, toyota’s pricing is currently the most optimal in the world market. As a result of new developments of specialists of the company "toyota" every year appear new concepts and new technologies, which are created with the stock for the future. Recently, toyota has obtained the rights to one of the "pearls" of japanese car manufacturing – subaru.
Luxury development of the group "toyota" – brand "lexus". It appeared less than thirty years ago, and the popularity gained enormously. The premium brand lexus is radically different from the cheaper toyota with its luxurious style and exceptional design. The presence of lexus in the global automotive market was significantly increased about ten years ago, when the production of lexus began in other countries. Today the last more than fifty.
Suzuki – not only motorcycles
The company "suzuki" has existed for more than a century, and at the beginning of its existence was engaged in the manufacture of machine tools for the textile industry and motorcycles. The first passenger car was produced only in 1955 and was called suzulight.
Today the brand "suzuki" is in the ten of those manufacturers of cars that are produced in the largest number. Suzuki cars are attractive for their low cost and optimal quality and comfort. The dynamic characteristics of suzuki, of course, do not reach such competitors as toyota or mazda, but the price of suzuki is much lower.

The Japanese also love suzuki, although this car brand is most popular in the emerging countries, where about two million cars of this brand are sold annually.
The suzuki model range includes small cars (suzuki swift), compact cars (suzuki SX4) and mid-size cars (suzuki kizashi) as well as suvs (suzuki jimny).
Mazda, honda, mitsubishi and nissan
All Japanese car brands have a long path of development behind them. Mazda has become one of the largest companies in the world of production of cars. Every year produces and sells more and more cars of this brand. It is interesting that at one time the shares in the share package mazda owned the american company ford. During the close and close cooperation of the Japanese owners of the company "mazda" with the company "ford" were created separate entities of companies such as autozam, efini, eunos and xedos. The mazda MX-5 roadster (or miata) has become a sporty bestseller. This car has inherited the main features of the classic british sports cars. Three years after the beginning of the sales 250 thousand miata roadster were released. In the second generation of the model began to appear turbocharged versions, such as the 178-horsepower version of the atelier mazdaspeed.

Under the curtain of the career of the second generation MX-5, the number of roadsters realized has exceeded 700 thousand copies. today, the small but proud fourth-generation roadster features the latest mazda connect multimedia complex, controlled by a puck controller in the center tunnel, audio speakers in the headrests and a wind display. everything for the "harmony of rider and horse" or jinba ittai – that’s what they call the make the MX-5 philosophy.

And in japan – comfortable runabout vehicle. This is a real pride and "locomotive" of the Japanese company "honda motor" on the world stage.
Mitsubishi at the turn of the past and the present confronted with certain financial difficulties. To overcome this, mitsubishi has entered into a partnership with the u.s. automotive group daimler-chrysler. Thanks to the new models (lancer and outlander) mitsubishi has managed to change the opinion of the public about its products, and take an important place among the world car manufacturers. mitsubishi’s best-known model is the pajero SUV, which competes very successfully with cars such as toyota land cruiser and nissan patrol.
