- You were probably reading the post where someone proudly proclaimed that
- the diamond start triplets had their reliability rated differently
- when in fact they were the same car. BUT, when I went and actually
- looked at the ratings, I found them to be IDENTICAL.
-
- Shouldn't the Plymouth Laser have been rated lower than the
- Mitsu Eclipse if this idea of Japanese owners rating their cars
- better than they are and American owners rating their cars
- worse actually existed?
-
- Most people who are against the ratings do not realize that
- some American cars receive high marks while there are some
- Japanese cars that receive low marks. And, isn't it just possible
- that the Japanese cars have been more reliable than the American?
