Proof that you have not sat in a domestic for the past 5 years. I rent cars every week and have done so for a few years now -- domestics and Japanese cars.

The domestics have made the biggest strides in interior material choice, design and assembly. The Japanese have remained the same or gotten worse.
I worked for a Ford dealership in college 3 years ago. So yes I have driven everything they made in 03 and a lot of the 04's. I agree they have made bigger strides. But I still think they are a step behind. One example: You buy a 16k dollar Mustang, you get the same interior in a 36k dollar Mustang. You buy a Mini Cooper, you get 3 series interior parts. The Lincoln interiors I will admit were nice, but I think you should still get a lil bit better interior in the cars like the Focus and what used to be the Taurus.

Dude, if you think American cars suck and Americans are lazy and have a crappy work mentality, please move you a** to Japan or Europe or wherever it is you think everything is better.

Good riddance.

P.S. If you're already outside the U.S. (see the Swiss flag), do us all a favor and stay there.
I suggest some anger management classes for you.

One last thought....,a friend who works in weld department in Marysville told me the Japanese engineers demanded tighter tolerances on cars being exported back to Japan.

We know them as Acura TL's they call them Honda Inspire

Just an FYI

I suggest you take a few classes on statistical analysis and biased perception syndrome.

It just shows your ineptitude and ignorance (look up those words if you're confused) by stating one fact, but neglecting to take into consideration about 20 other variables that directly affect the eventual conclusion.

It's called 'riceboy mentality' and 'fanboiness.'

A thought on that. The Japanese seem to be very into presentation and making it look right. But that doesn

I think those old S-10's were built better than the ones from the 90's... I swear I always see those things still running even if they are falling apart everywhere else.
