Mass Production of Aircraft

When my wife & I car-shopped for her car last fall we thought about a Benz
or BMW, but the dealers were arrogant, and I was sorta ****ed at the
Germans, so we stayed with Acura and she got an RL. Too early to tell on
that one.


Check out the recent article in (April 2005) Automobile magazine about the
quality problems at Mercedes, Audi and VW:

LOSING THE LUSTER By Richard Feast
"German automakers were once synonymous with great quality. What happened?"

(Montblack again...)
Consumers are starting to drop their assumption of quality with the German
cars (BMW and maybe Porsche are the exceptions). Owners are dealing with the
everyday realities that the Germans are putting out crap these days -
compared to their competition.

Even the German car owners, when polled, rated Toyota, Honda, Lexus, etc
high - while dropping the Benz. Audi and VW lines down around the
neighborhood of your Hyundais and Pontiacs for quality.

Odd thing is, Mercedes agrees and says it's working on the problem.

Still miffed at Accura for dropping names and going with what letters?
Numbers?
