Just to report, I drove home in Number 3 today. I was smiling and happy. Friday, driving a 2010 Camaro........

Let me assure what I noticed was a well executed, well layed out comfortabale interior. What I noticed was a 3.6 L SIDI 304 HP V6 with a 6 speed manual trans. What I noticed was how wonderful the NVH was. What I noticed was how well the car rode and handled due the wonderful suspension. I did use the express up windows, the power recliner and the PDIM for my iphone........all on a car that stickers for about $26,000.

What I didn't notice was no light on the vanity mirror (I honestly had to double check that it has mattered so little), I did open the trunk and never gave the wiring harness a second thought. I did show a guy how to use the lever on the seat back to get into the back seat and he didn't say anything about how hard that would be. And you know what else I didn't do? Tap on the top of the IP with my finger nail to tell if it was skin over foam or hard plastic. Looking at it you can't tell, and on every other car, I CAN TELL.

Just sayin'.......................it's an awesome car and it's strengths out weigh the weaknesses.

And to support Fbodfather, I DID work at a Japanes OEM and they DO worry about piece cost and investment and ease of manufacture. DO NOT fall in to the hype that non-US manufacturers are that smarter.

And Fbodfather has really, and calmly I might add, tried to add some clarity here. LISTEN TO HIM.
