Yes, & I think it's starting to show. The new Focus looks good. It needs a little more power or even that diesel engine from Europe. The Fusion has gotten a better rating w/ their V6 model than the Camry. The HD trucks w/ the twin turbo Powerstroke is boss. They need to work on E85 & hybrids, but they'll catch up eventually.

Honda non union labor and out source only to non union labor shops Toyota non union labor and own 97% of their suppliers of parts etc.. both do it because they know the employees end up with more money on their pocket and keeps them happy, also if an employee is happy they take pride on their work and at the end end up buying their own product. Also this companies offer shares in the company to employees so they can feel more pride on their work. The value of the vehicles is retained as quality is not jeopardized because union agendas are not an issue. Working conditions are better for all employees not only the top 28% as it is on most Union shops. General Motors Union labor at a cost 43% higher than non union labor yet employees take 23% less pay home. Ford same problem but both will have to make some changes necessary to compete increasing their out sourcing to non union labor it only makes economic sense don't you think?.

Yes. However, in the US anyways, their choices of interior materials is horrific in every vehicle they make. From the F-series and the SUVs, to the Taurus, to the Fusion, Mustang and Focus. They can pick good materials for the Mazdas, Jags, and Aston's...not sure why they have to use suck awful materials in their own cars.

Yeah because they just passed Nissan and are on par with Toyota in recent quality studies. Google it. It's weird how the answers that say no seem to have first grade grammar and not a fact.

No, their quality will keep getting worse as long as they keep having their vehicles built in foreign countries along with Chevy and Dodge.

I'll with-hold judgment for now.
