And never an American one after the Pinto, and never a German one after the VW testing scam, and never a Japanese one after the recent safety scandal? I guess you can still get a Jaguar, so your mechanic won't complain.

I drive a car made in the 1990s

I was planning to upgrade it

I had been planning to keep driving my car for quite some time, but recently it's developed a weird engine noise and a check engine light that nobody can resolve. I'm not sure I'll be able to give EV charging a few more years to sort itself out.

VW didn't really affect the customers.

How big of a difference was the actual safety of the Japanese cars? Are the corrected numbers poor, or still pretty good?
