They Just Do Not Make Them Like They Used To...

Yeh...I know it involves a Ford, but when you put the new against the old, the old comes out the better of the two. I bet even if it had been an old MOPAR of that era, it would also be the better as well...cr8crshr/Bill

Ford Model A Hit By Hyundai, Takes It Like A Champ - The Auto Wire

Was that the extremely rare "Petty Blue" Model A?

Since you mentioned Ford, I know from professional research that in 2008 Ford ranked 21st out of 23 OEM manufacturers selling vehicles in the US as far as Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) -- they sucked!! In 2010 they somehow managed to rise to #2. My friend (a mobile mechanic) has a 2018 Fusion in for an ungodly noise. Did a check on recalls & TSBs, and it was around 500 pages!! Apparently Ford had a brief moment in the spotlight as being perceived as "quality". Personally, the newest vehicle I own is 1995 -- Jeep Grand Cherokee (which I consider a Mopar).

Hyundai and Kia... 'nuff said. Substitute "garbage" and "trash" and it's the same. And you can put the GM-Daewoo junk in there as well.
