Poll: more Americans now believe US makes better-quality cars than Asia

[hudkina]

For the past 10 years, the domestic brands started catching up with Asian brands when it came to quality, though the highest quality vehicles tended to be trucks and SUVs. While the Asian brands still tended to dominate quality studies, especially with small and midsize cars, the domestic brands were never really far behind. In the past few years [[especially since about 2008) Ford and GM have seen vast improvements with their smaller cars and crossovers, thanks in large part to their European/Asian divisions. Chrysler is the lone Big 3 company that is considerably behind when it comes to certain quality studies, but hopefully Fiat's expertise will help that.

Today Ford get's a lot more press for it's quality jump, but a lot of the "bump" is really only due to the fact that it didn't go through bankruptcy and take government loans. Not only do both GM and Ford have a lot of REALLY great cars they are fairing very well in quality studies.

FIAT [[Fix It Again, Tony) sure did a great job in their last foreign venture [[Yugo). Maybe they can work the same magic on Chrysler.
