last in quality behind Japan and the U.S.

I read it... and your statement is quite a reach!

I'm no great fan of the Euro-quality myth but that's a really poor example.

Better would be the experience of VW owners and the historic track record of
the various Audi lines:

New model reviews v owner experiences after the car ages a little.

Did we buy these used too, like we bought used subs from British?
Our military should dump these P.O.S and buy some real Hummers (not those
stupid SUV H2 things) and be done with it.

Can you be more specific on how you reach your above conclusion? On
first read to me it sounds like these vehicles wre subjected to
conditions not expected by the manufacturer. Combined with non standard
addons. They appear to be cosmetic rather than structural. Seems the
manufacturer is responsible enough to address the issue at no cost to
the buyer. Sounds to me like a good company to buy from. A company that
actually is US/Eurepean or European/US owned. Mercedes Benz is the
'Daimler' part of Daimler/Chrysler. :-) BTW, what has this to do with
Ford or Mustang?

Uh, the floor never cracked in my four Mustangs, including my
1993 which had almost 300,000km on it.

How does a Canadian truck qualify as "eurotrash"?
