Yes, but even an affordable German sedan has a higher quality feel than an American one. Compare a Chevy and a VW. American cars are engineered to a price point, with quality, engineering, and innovation often taking a backseat. Or, for that matter, compare a Cadillac and a BMW. Similar price range, but at least for me I know which one will provide the superior quality, both in fit and finish and driving dynamics. Unfortunately the Asians are better at building quality cheap cars than we are, leaving American manufacturers stuck in the middle, losing market share.

It's not the engineer's fault, it's the managers above them, as well as the incredibly high overhead thanks to unions, pensions, etc.
Okay, Matt got it. On the very next post. Thanks, Matt.

You union bashers and liberal bashing whiners should talk to Wayne about getting your own Forum.
