Quality has definitely gone up, thank goodness for capitalism that has
driven them to do a better job, it's just that they thumbed their noses at
the public for many years. The unions are what are killing our automakers
and adding so much cost to a car that there may be no hope for the big 3 or
at least the big 2.

While I agree with this statement, quality has gone up considerably over the
years. Here's an interesting article I read on it.
