QOTD: Will you view new vehicles built during the pandemic differently?

How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?

Pure speculation and conjecture to follow...

Never heard that saying before.
You made me Google it, thanks.

No

I don't know why, but I'm a magnet for these. I spend more time doing captchas than doing the task I need to do. I will definitely avoid this site if it plagues me like NAPA's website does. They're the worst IMO.

Who thought it was a great idea for the human to prove to the robot they're human instead of the way it should be: the robot trying to prove to the human they aren't a robot.

Well, I definitely posted this to a different topic. Not sure how it ended up here. Ignore. Been having a lot of issues with this site lately...

Nope

Not directly related to quality control issues, but I would prefer to avoid buying in a market with constrained supply. The implied threat of walking away from a deal doesn't carry much weight when the car lots are half (or more) empty.

My Ford Dealer has 24 vehicles in stock as of Wednesday.

I went to my Hyundai dealer for a free oil change couple weeks ago and the lot next door that is usually packed with new vehicle's was about 25% full.
The salesman I know there said they sold 83 vehicles in July and got 52 new ones to restock.
I might be off on the numbers but they are close.
They are selling more then they can get right now.

Every time I see a 2020 or 2021 vehicle roll by I think to myself "someone probably overpaid for that thing just to get the last one on the lot".

NO, but I did worry about my 2011 Honda Fit Sport that was built just after the Fukushima Daiichi meltdown and Tusnami.

Recession: people cut corner because they don't want to lose money.
Boom time: people cut corner because they want to make money faster.
Stable time: people get laid off to improve profit as product mature.
Unstable time: people get laid off to reduce business risk.

Now tell me when is a time that companies will build good product and not cut corner?
