In fact there are 10 automakers that build cars BETTER than Toyota. The import companies built good cars to build a good reputation, and even now that their quality has fallen enough to meet or even drop below the quality of domestic vehicles, they still exploit that past image through creative advertising.

i think you're confusing "initial quality" (1st 3 months, rattles, stupid stuff that gets fixed under warranty) with long term quality (unless you can see into teh future.)

Domestics haven't proven themselves just yet, and i'm not getting bit in the a55 again until i see evidence proving otherwise. besides, the big 3 aren't building cars that i would want to buy, or even look at (in my price range, anyway.)
