American Cars better made than Asian Cars?

Over at The Auto Beat, David Welch blogs about a new report conducted by the Associated Press and GfK Roper Public Affairs and Media which states that Americans believe that American cars are better made than Asian cars.

The results say that 38% of people surveyed believed that American cars are the best-made vehicles and 33% said that Asian cars are the best.

This is great news for Ford, GM, and Chrysler who are all trying to make better quality vehicles. Americans have long believed that Asia produced far better vehicles, but this appears to be changing. Granted this survey was taken when Toyota was at the height of their public relations problem, which likely influenced people's opinions, but the survey results are still great news for Detroit.

Hopefully the Detroit automakers can continue to improve the quality of their vehicles and put American cars back at the top of the industry.
