Is it pathetic that Chevy now has a higher score than Subaru and Honda on JD Power?
On sedans and trucks/SUVs.
Is it pathetic to worry about such trivial trash? Yes, I think so.
And WHY is that "pathetic"? I think it's about time that an American manufacturer gets recognized for the quality of their product.
Just means that the right people got paid off.
Remember how the "Motor Trend Car of the Year" was once taken seriously? Winners: Corvair, Vega, AMC, Volt… Citroen! Think of the people who believed them and tossed their money down a pit. Now - you can't find the award article for all the paid advertising for it… The fix is in - everything.
NO
They paid more kick backs
JD Power looks too much at initial quality to have much meaning to me. It is a measure of quality control rather than design. I care about how the car will do ten or fifteen years down the road, not the first year after it is made.
- Prius: Can someone explain the power usage meter & specific difference between power mode and Eco mode? My brother just got me a Prius to replace my old beater Honda and I'm having difficulty understanding the power usage meter (meter on dash with "Charge-Eco-Power") and the difference in the Eco & Power modes. I do understand the charge bit on the meter.
- Motorcycle: If a bike has low RPM, does it mean it is less smoother than a one with higher? Like Honda CBR 250R, it has a RPM of max 12. Kawasaki Ninja 250r has a RPM of max 15… So ninja goes smoother? Just because it has higher RPM or because it is a twin cylinder?
- Can I finance a $4000 motorcycle without cosigner? 19 years old with 712 credit score and job? I'm looking to get a Honda CBR250R for my first motorcycle. I have $1000 in my checking account and make about $800 a month while going to school full time. I have a 712 credit
- I rebuilt my honda eu3000is carb, and now it smoke a few minutes after starting. It has only 50 hours or so? I cleaned out some green slime from the carb bowl, and cleaned out the main jet. Then, put it all back together. Did I miss something in the re-assembly? It runs good, just smokes.
