You mean like your Ranger (assuming 93 or later)?
Uhm, Sam...
Those interior parts were MADE IN JAPAN.
What part of that are you not getting. It's the EXACT SAME FUCKING MATERIALS. MADE IN THE SAME FUCKING PLANT.
The Ranger engines are made by Mazda, which last I checked was a Japanese brand.
One more time, for the complete blithering fucking dumbfucks... P-E-R-C-E-P-T-I-O-N. Yours has obviously been tainted, and obviously isn't based on anything factual.
Here, I'll explain it further -- when the Japanese and American manufacturers began the "dual-branding" thing there was a difference in perception. There were Mitsubishis and Chryslers that were the EXACT SAME CAR. Built on the exact same assembly line. Only difference was the name plates that were put on at the end. And in the Consumer Reports owner surveys, take a big guess what?
The fit-and-finish and overall owner satisfaction of the Japanese brands were universally given the highest ratings on the scale used. The American nameplates were all given the lowest marks possible.
They were the EXACT SAME FUCKING CAR. In the automotive circles, the Consumer Reports rankings were hilarious.
Now, Sam -- how do you suppose that the EXACT SAME FUCKING CARS were given such radically different ratings?
Think about it, Sam. It was because of fucking idiots like yourself who didn't base their opinions on anything factual, but rather some very inaccurate preconceptions.
And that wasn't an isolated incident (look it up yourself, if you can find really old Consumer Reports rags)... it was EVERY dual-branded vehicle... all of them. For many years.
The 1994 Geo Prism/Toyota Corolla was one of the classics. Same. Fucking. Car. Yet Consumer Reports rated the "interior trim" of the Prism as being worse than the Corolla... classic. Maybe Sam writes for Consumer Reports?
If you look at all of those Consumer Reports rankings from the dual-branding era (around mid-80's to mid/late 90's), they offer PROOF that I'm right, and you're wrong. PROOF. See, PROOF is a little more solid than "I pushed a switch."
"My Ranger made from Japanese parts and Japanese materials which are the exact same as a Mazda truck is a piece of shit, but my Mazda truck is WAY better, because it has beter materials."
Seriously, are you on drugs(doesn't make you a bad person)?
Engage in all the name calling you like. Question whether I have 8.5 years of professional auto repair experience. Throw all that hyperbole out there you'd like. In the end, you're still WAY over your head in this one.
Somehow, you've made this incredible leap in logic that since YOU'VE had better luck with Japanese vehicles, you now speak for every mechanic in the country. Considering how you've displayed your "logic" here, I guess the complete bullshit coming out of your keyboard shouldn't come as any suprise.
But wait -- it actually gets better (if that's even possible):
There's not a mechanic in this country who doesn't know that Japanese engines are more efficient than American made engines
Hmmm.... in the midsized class, the most efficient 2004 (the first year I found) vehicles are, in order --
CHEVROLET IMPALA
CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX
CHRYSLER CONCORDE/LHS
DODGE INTREPID
BUICK LESABRE
Makes you go "Hmmmmm," don't it. BTW- Japanese manufactut=rers make vehicles in that class with smaller engines. They don't make the "most efficient" list. Why is that, Sam? Since you have this alllllll figured out, I'm sure you can explain this -- maybe include some VE figures, or something?
BTW -- the "most efficient" non-hybrid vehicle in 2004 was German, dumbass.
How about SUV's? The Japs must make the more efficient engines, right? They should pretty much dominate that shit too, right?
