Asian cars are easy to own + cheap to maintain for 5-10 years or so + people dump them... after that they become rust buckets + not really worth repairing when big problems hit... ie, they are appliances...
I've got 2 20 year old Saabs, and they each have a total annual cost of about the same as a lease on a Honda Civic (+ I track the cost in a spreadsheet, right down to light bulbs + wiper blades). I'm ok with that. They put a smile on my face every time I drive them. Some people would not be ok with the occasional issues + would rather lease an appliance...
