but quality dissappeared long ago in everything made in the USA .. and we won't get i
i think quality is way up - i had cars from the 60s, 70s and 80s. the newer stuff (mid 90s on anyway) is pretty darned good - but it depends i suppose on your definition... i remember cars of 20_ years ago..starters lasted 40 to 50k miles, alternators maybe to 60, and here the bodies were gone by 90k. NO ONE kept a car to over 100k...i now have my FIRST car that has over 100k on it, a 93 taurus, and have known may people who get 200-225 fgrom the 3.0 without incident.
most all cars now will go 120k or so before big bucks need spent (eng, trans, struts, etc all last that long). and that is with the rather poor maintennace the average joe does to his car. and that is all cars, japanese or american. there are exceptions and design flaws and things..everyone is trying to balance cost with reliabilty,etc, so a few will slip through.
besides, my kids are US made and of high quality!
