Car quality list

For one thing the management is different. I have worked for both Japanese and North American manufactures. All I can say is that the N/A companies suck ass big time. They are on a pwr trip, telling you what to do, even if its wrong you have to do it wrong or else you are in deep shit. Thats how it goes here in N/A with DOG+CAT+SKUNK shit for brains bosses & engineers!!!!!!!
The Japanese companies listen to their employees on how to make the parts. Everyone works together to make a quality part. You are actually forced to contribute ideas on how to make improvements. And why not, after all you are the one making the part anyway so why not ask you!! They also fix problems quicker and make changes before things can get out of control (staying ahead of the game). Overall they are always trying to improve something, and they upgrade their equipment also, unlike N/A companies, they just want to save money so that the big bosses can get bigger bonuses or some crap like that.

Up until last year, one of my brothers worked for a supplier that supplies Ford, GM, Chrysler, Toyota and Honda. His opinion was that Toyota was the most professional, followed by Honda, then Ford, Chrysler and GM. GM is/was the worst. A while back, GM had a part bidding web site (to bid on jobs to supply parts) and it was found out that GM employees would put in low-ball dummy bids. Also, when just talking to the company engineers, the guy he'd have to speak to at GM usually didn't know what they were talking about and the company as a whole was hard to deal with. Honda, Toyota and Ford were much easier to deal with from his perspective.
