Bear with me a moment while I collect my thoughts . . . .
Now, I'm not someone who owns cars (sedans). I'm someone who owns station wagons because of how I live
And because I have specific requirements of my wagons (work hard; don't use too much gas; serve reliably . . . ) I buy Toyotas - Camrys mostly. Corollas if buying for other folks
But if I was going to buy a sedan, I'd buy the top-of-the-line Camry, the Lexus ES300. They're made in Japan, and they were built when Toyota's Kaizen philosophy was still the beating heart and soul of their manufacturing guiding principles
Think of it like this: If someone in the USA buys, say, a 2007 ES300 which is made in Japan - that buyer has a better-than-even chance that his Lexus will last for 350,000 miles. There are thousands with over 400,000 miles "on the clock", and many with over 500,000 miles on the original engines and transmissions.
(Check out this one with 1,000,000 kilometres - 600,000 miles - under its belt) -

Equally, of the many 300,000+ kilometre Camrys I have had, the Japanese-built ones (Gracias) hit 300,000 Ks with the interiors in excellent shape - apart from the damage done by owners' children and pets - while the Australian-built machines - which share the same body parts & drivetrain, but which have been assembled in Australia with Australian trim - have collapsed door-cards covers and fallen-down hood linings. Not just some of them. ALL of them
Now, the American blue-collar assembly worker is just like the Japanese white-overall assembly worker or the grey-overall Aussie assembly worker: He goes to work, he eats his lunch, he performs to the standard set by his superiors and he builds cars with the components he is given. It's just that the component quality control and the worker-training and quality control in the old Kaizen factories were head and shoulders above almost anything else in the world. That's why a 20-year old Toyota is probably still ticking along just nicely, thank you, while a 6-year old Chrysler or BMW is making horrible noises whenever its transmission shifts and it's poor owner (soon to be poorer) is wondering how to pay for a $4500 transmission rebuild . . .
Thus it is in Rajkot, too. Those blokes go to work, they assemble engines as instructed by their bosses, they eat their lunch & they go home
If their boss gives them a sledge-hammer to fit Gib keys, or teaches them to just paint over casting sand residue . . .
I'm just saying - in my long-winded way - that it isn't the worker who is at fault; and I, personally, tend not to laugh unkindly at him . . .
