I think it’s a fair point, but I also believe that better vehicles have lowered our tolerance...we used to pray the car would just start and get us from point a to point b; now we curse our cars to hell when our Bluetooth connection drops in the middle of a call.

Wait, why is Nissan not #1 by a wide margin then?
