I agree that in the past it was difficult for a small manufacturer to match Toyota for quality, but people have different perceptions of quality as well, for some, quality is having NO warrany claims in the first year, for others its durebility that allows them to keep the car for 20 years, with quite a bit of minor work of course. To American initial quality is the holy grail, and in the past Saab has had problems, but so far, my 9-3 has been perfect (8000 km and 4 months) so I'm quite pleased. I think advancements in technology have also allowed smaller manufacturers to match Toyota and Honda in quality. BTW .... the highest quality plant in North America is..... The Ford plant in St. Thomas Ontario...make Crovn Vic's...The Camary plany is number 5!!!
