The current lucky generation of automotive customers has no real understanding of how truly awful a car can be.

Even entry-level vehicles and subcompacts these days are surprisingly well made, thanks to a revolution started mainly by Japanese automakers like Toyota (nyse: TM - news - people ) and Honda Motor (nyse: HMC - news - people ). Honda's first-generation Accord came out in the days when Detroit was producing real stinkers like General Motors' (nyse: GM - news - people ) Chevy Vega and Ford Motor's (nyse: F - news - people ) Pinto. Between that time and today, the Japanese proved to the world that just because a car was cheap, it didn't mean it also couldn't be a well-built, value-laden automobile that looked and drove well.
