I never made a statement of the sort. I simply stated my experiences with 
their poor quality prts in regards to our cars, and the cars I work on in 
general. I'm sure they are capable, everybody is. That is not the issue. 
Motivation is. It is quite obvious they are not motivated to do any better. 
At some point they will be, but that will have to be forced by the buying 
public. The less low quality things bought forces them to improve or give up 
the profits they currently enjoy.

Once again, this is just my opinion, experience, etc.

Oh, and Erik, I mean no disrespect either. This is enjoyable for me as well. 
I certainly enjoy a respectful discussion, as this freedom to do exactly 
that is one of the great things about this country!
