Bearcatbob, I agree with you wholeheartedly. As I said in my post to quehubo, the Japanese have the best machine tools and they got their start with Honda making motorcycles, which then evolved to fuel and ergonomically efficient cars, a concept that "bigger is better in the US" did not even recognize. To date, traveling to MI, where I lived for 7 years, is peculiar because it is like going back to a place where time stands still. New factories are hard to come bye and old ones keep producing new models despite they trying to put a round peg in a square hole. The mold is hard to break and the "not invented here" syndrome runs amock. You get hammered down for innovative ideas and it shows when GM produces 50 vehichles which are all the same inside and out, with the same radios, tires, seats, dashboards, but different name plates -- Chevy, Olds, Pontiac, etc. -- and I am not picking on GM because all 3 are equally at fault for the same mindset.
