Buick wins

Buick has started the slow process of turning perception back toward what is and most likely always has been real. That reality, I believe, is that US-made cars are not truly that different in regard to dependability and quality than foreign made rigs. The problem is that owners of foreign cars have, for years, yelled louder about the quality of their Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. Perhaps, they've been making excuses or defending their automobile selection.

Doesn't really matter.

Point is, more people yell about the superior quality of foreign made cars. People listen and then. . .don't get me started again about how stupid the American public can be. Sheeple just start following along without a clue. Next thing you know Detroit's industry is non-existent. OK, I know the fall of the auto industry in this country is more complicated than that but perception is a huge factor in our buying patterns. No?

So, in case you've been under a rock today or you just don't care that much about the auto industry I'll fill you in. J.D. Power has released their rankings for all types of car related categories and Buick has tied Lexus(Toyota) in the Dependability Study. Keep in mind Lexus has owned this honor alone for the past 11 years.

Nice job Buick!! U.S.A. OK!
