Cars are actually a good measuring stick to hold up as an example for this discussion since in the genre' of automotives there are MANY levels of quality for MANY reasons.
Has anyone here actually ridden in and or took a close look at an older Rolls Royce? Complete junk from a fit and finish standpoint. Hand made and look like it. Look like they were put together with spare parts.
How bout' a Jaguar? Jag and Ferrari had the same problems for a long time. brittle copper wire.
Hows the digg go? " Lucas is the reason theres warm beer in the UK"
Mercedes of the 70'-80's were so far beyond any others it was amazing.
They were the yardstick of quality.
Lexus came along in the 90's and upped the ante'
Longetivity wise you cant beat a Honda or Toyota, Fit and finish - Mercedes, Lexus, Speed & H.P. Ferrari.....etc,etc.
All different yardsticks of quality
Speaking of Ferrari. Anybody seen that old early 60's movie "turning a new leaf" With Walter Mathaeu?
He's a rich guy that lives in Manhattan and drives a Ferrari.
Every time he goes anywhere, they show him leaving with his scarf and driving gloves and when he arrives its on the hook of a tow truck.
I love that movie.
