[DeTomaso] NPC - Consumer Reports on Cars

[Steve Hawkins]

Say what they want but there sure are a lot of foreign car repair shops
around for their cars to be sooo great.  I'm driving a 1999 Chrysler LHS
with almost 140,000 miles and haven't done much more than change oil and put
gas in it.  Gets good gas mileage and is fun to drive.  

I wonder how much bias there may be because of not wanting to admit they're
having problems with they're Japanese car.
I've owned a couple of Honda's and they weren't without problems.

Consumer Reports Magazine just released their annual car issue in  which 
their subscribers report on problem areas for cars going back 5  model
years. Not 
to beat a dead horse, but GM and Chrysler cars have really bad  results. 
Ford's aren't the best but they aren't bad and some models are pretty  good.
As 
usual, Honda, Acura, Toyota and Lexus are unbelievably good. The German
cars 
aren't as bad as GM and Chrysler but they aren't really very good.
 
As much as everybody talks about buying American, this really paints a  
pretty dismal picture of the American manufacturers. Quality is an
engineering  and 
management issue. It's no wonder they are failing in the marketplace.
