See my post concerning Japanese quality...I would say Toyota and Honda have some crappy cars...go figure. Hope you don’t own a Tundra...the transmissions suck and the tailgate falls off. LOL
American cars have improved, they’re pretty much even with the Nips now. Of course they still have to fix their reputation from 25 solid years of shipping crap. Even with the quality improvement I never find the fit and feel of the Detroit 3 to be satisfying. Meanwhile my 92 Sentra, which is no longer mine because I got sick of looking at it so I gave it to my BIL, has over 240 thousand miles on it and is still reliable enough for the occasional trip to Phoenix.
Either way, people buy what they chose. Blaming the customer has never improved sales.
