Who produces all this good stuff? In general, Euro cars are having electrical problems. Is it Bosch? As big as they are and as many manufacturers as they feed it seems they could do better. Then there is ZF who sure had a bad batch of transmissions that both Volvo and BMW bit into. Of course if you come stateside, look at some of the great stuff we have had. Olds diesel, the many plastic GM transmissions, the Vega, the road oiling Corvair and on and on.

Perhaps it is cyclic, but the Jap cars seem rather steady, most of the time, till you go to a machine shop and find out that they change stuff almost yearly in their engines and parts have to come from dealers only.

So what do you buy?
