Actually, I don't see why Korean quality and Japanese quality are inversely related. They imho are not related.

There could be a correlation with sales, but again, indirect.

The trend, however, is that Korean is improving. I don't think that is true with Japanese. If the quality is already very good, it is marginally more expensive to get better.

scotty kilmer said that j.d power he doesn’t trust because they are bribing and are easily exposed to money. So I don’t think he will believe this rating. If you want, I dropped you a link to the video about what he says about j.d.power

They gave me $400 to open a checking, and $200 to open a credit card when you have a savings (had to open it), no balance requirement on the checking, $300 to avoid fees on the savings. That's $600 minus income tax, more, towards the new Hyundai. Also, unlike some offers, the $600 was there in < 30 days, and taxable on a 1099.

The Japanese are improving as well. Take a look at the latest batch of products, they are getting better critic responses, newer and better technology. The the Japanese really suffer is in the large truck and SUV segment

Yes, I agree with you that the Japanese are improving. I think they are suffering in the truck and SUV segment as this segment is not particularly popular with them in Japan. And I think that the models of SUVs and the design in the United States themselves are created and created by Americans.I'm sorry if I'm wrong to fix something

They suffer in the large truck segment. Worldwide Toyota and Nissan do very will in the mid size segment

How are these two things related?

I'm sorry but for some reason I feel that if the quality of Koreans improves, sales of the Japanese can be worse, because Koreans are of high quality and cheap

As consumers, competition is good for us. More carmakers building excellent, well made reliable products is good for us. No reason to be afraid, or concerned. Its all upside for us.

Are you talking about Japanese cars or in general?

In general. Ultimately it will be good for Japanese cars as well because it will put pressure on them to make even better cars.

I don't understand as a consumer caring about different countries' auto industries more than others. This is also predominantly an American website, so what happens in the Japanese Domestic Market is not really that big a deal to us.

I completely agree with you, but just in the American market, Koreans and Japanese make tough competition. I don’t like it. Honda has become weaker, and Toyota makes more high-quality cars.

Personally, I like the tough competition. It's necessary. As mentioned in other posts, this competition is good for us the consumer and good for the auto market in general. If the competition wasn't tough I guarantee you that the quality of all brands, imported or domestic would go down.

Well, even if Honda has a lot of competition with gearboxes, the same problems remain
