Respectfully, I do not think this a fair characterization of American cars. For your one dead American car, I can cite two of my dead Japanese cars. Having one car die is not enough to establish statistical significance.

I personally do not like Nissan and Infiniti, even though I've owned and repaired many of them. The quality just isn't as good as Toyota or Honda.

While this may be true, it's also worth noting that foreign luxury cars depreciate a lot as well. So poor resale isn't limited to just American cars.

I agree. I have always had a hard time working with Mini's. I don't have half the tools needed to work on these cars.
