Lexus and Infinty showed us the meaning in performance luxury sedans. Mercedes-Benz looks at what the customer wants in a luxury car. Look at Mercedes-Benz now building super high performance sedans and sport utility vehicles. And the Big Three learned a trick or two on how to assemble cars and build what customers wanted. No longer were cars headed to the junkyard after 100,000 miles.
Quality is seen in just about every car that rolls off all assembly lines.
The days of replacing the points and condensers with a tune-up that was required ever 10,000 miles are long gone. We can drive 100,000 miles without changing the spark plugs. And somewhere in all these changes, the big whitewall tires faded away. Disc brakes and anti-lock braking became the rage. Who would have ever believed the sophisticated safety equipment that is now built into our cars of today.
