One clue about an American car's quality is the constant need to change the car's name. Accord and Civic have been around almost forever, while names like Fairlane, Galaxey, Tempo, Mystique, Pinto, Fiesta, Granada, Monarch, Countour, Comet, Falcon, on and on have been changed to confuse the American public.
