What I like about them is that they are far less likely to break. When they do break, it's so much cheaper. Mine was rebuilt for $550. I have had this "tailfins" moniker for a long time. Tailfins vehicles are no longer practical. Ten years ago, there were specialty parts suppliers. Many of those have gone out of business. Early Japanese vehicles seem to be the most worry free, especially with the supply chain / defective auto parts crisis. If I were in the market for a vehicle today, I would get an Infiniti G37 with a manual transmission (pre-2013). As an added bonus they are rear wheel drive and made in Japan. Did you know that Renault bought Nissan? If the VIN doesn't start with J, then stay away.
