Mercedes is quality? Ha. Maybe fifty years ago. Now, it's **** with a
famous emblem, and Toyota means quality.
I'm not going to get into a long discussion about quality but to a
great extent quality is a perceived value. I have a Hong kong made
electronic watch that keeps as good time as my Rolex. Is quality
keeping accurate time or is it a stainless and gold bracelet that lets
people know I've made it?
To most of Asia a Mercedes is the epitome of car ownership. Is a
Mercedes really that good or does it make the neighbors drool?
A toyota is for the proletariat...
