Yes, because we all know GM and Ford have never ignored safety issues in favor of profits. There have been so many dangerous designs from domestic auto companies, including the failing sub frame on the Windstar as Ford's latest achievement. There have been multiple fire issues over the years, resulting from poorly designed components. GM never changes much in their designs, even if they are proven to be unreliable and a constant headache for owners.
In truth, ALL manufacturers are in it for the money. Toyota got caught this time, but they are hardly the first. They most assuredly won't be the last. Overall, they still outrank most domestic cars across the board. You can talk about JD Powers lists all day long, but since they rank Lexus at #1, it is hard to believe their system is tried and true.
