Across the US market (mostly domestics) maybe, but it doesn't take much looking to see the reduced quality in today's Japanese cars compared to those of 15-20 years ago, or the German ones from 30 years ago. Or diesel trucks prior to this latest wave of emissions regulations.

Or look at the cars the US is selling to China to see that they are getting the better interiors than we are

do you have any examples of that, or is that just conjecture? (FWIW, the Chinese new car market is quite a bit bigger than the US's. it's up to over 20M new cars a year)

Older article on the Cadillac SLS

Older would be an understatement.

But if one example that was written about 7 years ago damns all of the cars being sent to China, well.... that's your perogititve.

It would be good to see some recent info, though. Since the one Caddy that has been superseeded a few times since does not make your theory correct.

My Sync, keyless entry, etc., etc., etc.…what a joke, do you know you can’t even get a F-150 with a manual transmission anymore.

I could flounder the E36 M3 out of this thread with an Obamacare analogy but that would be wrong.
