Q: Why are many of the US built wretched ricebox cars better built/reliable than American iron and the Alabama spawn of of DBAG?
A: Because W Edwards Deming was asked by the Japanese to help them build better products. He taught them well. He also taught the Americans during WWII. After the war, the American companies threw out what he taught them and the women who did the SPC in the plants. They went back to therbligs. The american bean counters liked therbligs. They were still using therbligs in the 70s and into the 80s. The Japanese listened well, learned well, and did NOT throw out the systems, but improved on them. Look up the case of the Ford transmissions built by mazda in the 80s.
But the Japanese (later Asians) built/build soulless appliances. They all build cheap throwaway crap lektronic toys now. Clay Monroe via Mercedes wrote on 10/24/19 2:01 PM:

During the extensive searching for a replacement for the elderly cheep grand crumpet I am finding the selection of higher end lines to be the same prastic and overly complex computerized bells, whistles, dingles and dongles. The base models are not even up to the interior quality of early Honda, Subaru, Datsun or Toyota, which had more robust fabric, vinyl, door cards and molded plastic. This new stuff is akin to Dollar Store motorized toys. clay monroe
