Been saying this from day one. People knew, lied, and covered shit up... to save a buck. And people died.

Because GM and Fiat-Chrysler were notorious for shitty build quality until recent years (aside from trucks, of course). Honda has been consistently solid for much longer. Don’t think for even a second that they didn’t earn that reputation.

The rule of thumb I use for new projects is: estimate the time and cost. Multiply cost by 2 and time by 4.
