It’s really no surprise that Japanese automakers would get a leg up on North American automakers in the quality department. I know, I know…it’s shocking that I would say such a thing.
But with economic downturn in the United States really impacting the way car companies do business and with many car companies struggling to keep somewhat normal standards of car manufacturing going at the factories, it shouldn’t be a surprise that the more efficient Japanese automakers are having an easier go of things.
For years, the Japanese car companies have been technologically ahead of North American cars. The environmental measures have been more important amongst car companies like Honda and Toyota, for instance, and it shows. The two companies have recently scooped dozens of awards for their “green technology.” They are leaders in the field and it shows.
Consumer Reports’ annual quality survey was released on Thursday and it was learned that 15 out of 16 categories for reliability were led by Japanese car companies. The only American company to crack that was Ford. Honda’s Acura was highly rated in the category describing cars with fewest problems, while the Scion xD from Toyota led a great many fields.
With both Honda and Toyota leading in fields of reliability with great consistency, perhaps it’s time to get behind the wheel of something different. Head on down to your Pottsdown Honda dealer for more information today and get yourself on the winning team.
