3 edits | Re: The Best Made Cars: Foreign vs Domestic said by dirtyjeffer  :The "foreign cars are better" line, is more about marketing hype, and living in the past. I think it's more than just marketing hype. Take a look at the bottom of your own link where they compile four major studies concerning quality and reliability. Out of the 45 vehicles there's only 14 so-called domestics that make the list. That means 70% of the top vehicles are so-called foreign.
Edit: And as a side note, I don't even think you can consider Chrysler/Dodge as being a domestic (North American) anymore since it's owned and run by the Germans now. They've been doing weird things to that company in the past few years.

They've been doing weird things to that company in the past few years. If by weird you mean that Dodge/Chrysler is the only one of the "Big Three" to turn profit in recent months, you are right. If by weird you mean that the Dodge/Chrysler arm of Daimler Chrysler is the one that is successful while Mercedes has been plagued by quality and sales problems, you are right. If by weird, you mean that Dodge/Chrysler has some of the boldest designs around (Ram, Charger, Magnum, to name a few) and some of the best performance vehicles (Ram SRT-10, Viper, Neon SRT-4, Charger SRT-8, Crossfire SRT-6), you are right.
I currently own a Ram (my third) and would not hesitate to buy Dodge again. They made some bad mistakes in the 80's but have really come around in the last 10 years or so. | |

I still to this day am impressed by my 1992 Dodge Grand Caravan. 13 Years Old, and she still gets me back and forth to work and has no problem with the occasional trip to Oshawa and back.
