Consumer Reports put Lexus, Toyota, and Mazda above Honda for reliability in 2016.

I meant it in terms of being "the car" for rice-vape-yoloswag kind of people...

Why are the nips beating America?

>>16448112
because 1/8 of an inch tolerance was "up to spec" for transmissions until the 1990s

>>16448112
Because you're not doing something about it and are on 4chan, worse yet /o/, instead

lemme tell you a story.

a group of three white dudes developed statistical methods of quality control. it was some really abstract shit at the time. detroit basically laughed at them and called them nerds. the japanese on the other hand, who were still reeling from WW2, loved these motherfuckers and invited them to help rebuild their entire industry base. their ENTIRE industry base. 30 years go by and the nips spend that time upgrading and rebuilding while the big 3 sit fat and happy on old equipment and "tried and true" methods.

people really took notice in the 80's and 90's and only NOW is america still starting to catch up.


tldr: american weebs from the 40's gave super advanced quality control formula to japan

>>16448241
its not advanced at all, its common sense
The Japs started slacking in the 90s
theres as many Jap recalls as euro an US recalls now

>>16448241
Fucking white people

>>16448112
Because American cars are built by Cleetus and Tyrone and they know they can't get fired because muh unions and Jap cars are built by people who actually care about what they're doing.

dude, its not rocket science, its not like its Finnegans Wake or anything

To the people it was presented to at the time, it would be incomprehensible. You are talking about 50yo executives born around the turn of the century. You might as well have handed them a book written in Latin.

Moron.

>Statistical math and dimensional anlysis are alien concepts

statistics was a pretty new field of math back when this stuff was being written for quality control purposes. people thought they were full of shit if you said you could predict the fuckin' future with math.

you might not think its advanced now, but at the time it very much was. also, college algebra is the most failed course in the US. statistical math and dimensional analysis are alien concepts to the vast majority of the people in this country. if you don't believe me, just go check out /sci/ during the fall semester and see all the threads about dudes bombing calc 1.

Sure, if you compare the time before PDSA and it first being spread "mindblowing", the same way a lighter is "mind blowing" to an aboriginee

but PDSA is not "Mindblowing" to anyone under the age of 30 who isnt retarded

>>16445887
If by yes we mean no, then yes.

>predict the future with math

I'm literally fucking dead. This pop-sci shit needs to leave.

Look at this guy's post >>16448241

He specifically states AT THE TIME it was mondblowing. You are wrong, the end.

>>16448230
honestly its evos and subies.
i just went to this massive meet, and easily 50% of the cars there were subarus or evos.

>This pop-sci shit needs to leave
yes faggot, obviously what i said was hyperbole. but as >>16448821 pointed out, its a bunch of executives born around the turn of the century. when Deming outlined what their system could do, thats exactly how the guys in detroit perceived it as. predicting the future. which is one of the reasons they were told to kick rocks.
