No luck truck

I would like to add to what Krazykuda mentioned..

I think a second problem is that the US auto industry strives for mediocre.. It’s a philosophy thing. Too many focus groups. (Remember the AzteK ?)

They are happy to build cars for the rental industry.

My nephew who was fairly deep into the auto industry used to talk about high end US cars. He said the Cadillacs had all the bells and whistles of the Infiniti’s, BMWs, and Benzs...but they rarely all worked at once, and if they did work, had a parts bin feel. Same shift lever and ignition key for a Cadillac as an economy Chev.

In a previous post I was mentioning the build quality of our Duster. A member here said they were built like that because the big 3 didn't have to try because general buying public kept buying them.. then came the japs ...
