Maybe that's what the media wants you to think. Do you really think this is the pinnacle of quality?



Here's a Chevrolet interior of the same year, 1985.



Neither product meets today's standards. That's obvious. At the same time, neither seems all that bad. The media constructed a dialogue that the Chevrolet was cheap, expecting it to fit a higher standard than the Honda. The Honda was cheap, but the press described it as economical, lowering expectations then praising the company for meeting them.

Now, I'll ask: was the Honda really higher quality than the Chevrolet or was the media being unfair?
