Re: Toyota: I Spit on Ford’s Quality Claims!

Shouldn't quality be measured by the opportunity cost that these teach cars required by the buyers.

- Overall sales number
- Price/Trade-in-value/finance cost
- Repair time/cost
- Overall ride quality over time.

It is commonly accept idea that Camcordima is better than MaliTauro___, there isn't a third one for the American. I think American cars have perception problems but also if you rent Ford cars, their roof liners and interior trims aren't very neatly put together. Generally, American cars' interior don't look very good against the foreign cars. And they don't refresh their vehicles like foreign cars. Sonata had mediocre interior. After 2+ years, they refreshed their interior and bumped their engine ratings.... I don't see this often with US-branded cars.

Vast majority of people vote with their money. It is given that Toyota has better quality than Ford by this measure and by other measures.
