Maybe, if you were smart enough to do an actual comparison, and had
run a Honda, you would have found that problem multiplied by a factor of
thirteen:

You are extremely incorrect, and unfortunately so.

The Vega had an aluminum engine cast from a silicon bearing aluminum
alloy with etched walls-a process invented to build race engines-and an
iron plated aluminum piston. It worked great until the silicon layer
wore off and the compression vanished. There was a fix-you could sleeve
the engine-but no one did. They put in a different engine-if the car
hadn't rotted out by then, which happened within nine months to a year
in some cases. The drag racers ironically saved many by making drag
cars out of them because they don't put salt on dragstrips. The drag
cars are the only Vegas that have survived in any numbers.

The Buick and Olds 215 V8 engines had sleeves. The Rover is a much
improved outgrowth of these engines-there is limited
interchangeability. Some people put these in Vegas, some people put in
V-6s, some people put in Mazda rotaries, some people put in Chevy II or
Iron Duke 4's. But the most common swap was the smallblock Chevy,
which made the car worthless for anything but drag racing. Since that
was the only way it wouldn't disintegrate, most surviving Vegas have SB
Chev power.

Mostly, they were just geeky and unpopular. Usually they ran a long
time, but little things like interior and trim would give trouble,
being-like Mopar's-inferior to GM.

Notice these are all drag cars. You see NO surviving Vegas in road, or
circle track or autocross, racing. Because their suspension systems and
brakes were as ****ty as everything else. Actually the engine was _not_
the worst thing about the Vega, because if you had them sleeved and put
on free flowing induction and exhaust they would wind tight and made
very weight-effective power.

I saw a MBZ sedan old enough to have vestigal tailfins at the truck
stop yesterday-at the diesel pump. it was like a 190D with a 240
engine. Sixties chassis, seventies engine. And there are still a LOT of
Hobart welders and Thermo Kings with Benz diesels out there.

You saw one 190D, how many America cars did you see of the same
year or older during that same time. If you want to count only dirty
diesel count the older American tractors.

Well, you've just about finished screwing it up completely...
does that count? America, of course, is my country...

Was that the 350 or the 454 Vega?
