The premium is for the gadgetry and R&D...which is often less reliable. It's also expected for European cars to have all the new James Bond stuff, if they don't it's into the whole 'not competitive in its class' and 'dated' compliants. So, it's less reliable _new and unproven_ gadgetry.
Japanese cars take what's proven to last, and build it really well. (Proven through the growing pains of the Europeans, often.) With the Koreans, it's more like: 'license what the Japanese got to work so well and try to build it as well.'
Interestingly, some Buick models are also the most reliable cars available, because the technology is soooo old and proven...the typical Buick buyer doesn't want change.
