I always get a chuckle about the "quality" issue. JD Powers is always about "INITIAL QUALITY". So the quality is good when you first put in the key? What about 3-4 yrs. later? After that period, the Fords, GM's I have owned have shown their age rather poorly. The Japanese cars I have owned have remained bullet-proof during that same time line and beyond. No electrical gremlins, no squeaks/rattles, no burning of
oil. Would love to return to Detroit to buy a car but my opinion of their vehicles has soured. Maybe was just my bad luck.
