Yup! I can understand the feelings,my father was in New Guinea during WW11 and up until he passed away at age 92 there was no way he would own a Japanese car,but he loved his Kia.

My Dad was the same. One of my Uncles bought a Datsun 1200SSS. Dad wouldn't let him park it in the driveway! Post WW2 Dad had a Jowett, Austin Somerset, Triumph Herald and a Hillman Minx. No Japanese radios or TVs either.

Funny that- my Dad was the same. Served with the RAAF in New Guinea, Borneo, Phillipines. Would not own anything Japanese because of the atrocities he had seen. Sitting at the dinner table one night when I was a kid Mum showed him the new dinner set she bought that day - the old fella turned a plate over and saw where it was made and firmly told Mum to take it back tomorrow and get her money back or he would smash every one of them.
