Don't know if they still do, but what made the Jap cars so great back then was they were built with cast iron blocks.

My first car was a 1985 Honda Prelude that I bought in 1991 with 175k on it. I put another 200k on it and it was still going strong when an a-hole ran a stop sign and t-boned me and totaled it.

Took it to the local Honda dealership when I bought it and was told that with regular oil changes and changing the timing chain every 150-175k that it would run forever and it probably would have. Damn thing got awesome gas mileage too. I could drive from my parents' house to Auburn, which was normally about a 4 hour drive and not even use a 1/4 of a tank of gas. This was with me making the drive in about 2.5 hours. Once I got that car on the highway it very rarely saw under 100mph.
