I feel like the American car builders could have suffered through the malaise era if build quality had been decent but considering the truly awful build quality of the time its no surprise people looked to the east.Also considering what crappy cars asia was producing if the Americans had kept their build quality high the asian makers would have never gotten a foothold.My in-laws have a Ford Fusion that is an excellent car, probably the best made vehicle they've ever had and at least as good as any Toyota but the resale value pales when next to a Camry. -Curt From: Curly McLain via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Cc: Curly McLain <126die...@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, August 21, 2015 8:37 AM Subject: Re: [MBZ] Why is 1968 a watershed year for Mercedes? It was the beginning of the end for merkun iron too. 1968 cars had rudimentary smog crap hung on em. By 1974, merkun iron was fully smothered and were total crap.
