The Camry is not a high end model or even a luxury car despite what you might think.

It is a cheap run-of-the-mill 4 cylinder front wheel drive saloon.

(I repeat myself)

I would not call the Camry a Low End Model.

Up to you.

I wouldn't call a fwd 4-cylinder anything other than a low end model, but then again I don't think the insertion of an LCD screen in the dash and creme leather seats is sufficient criteria.

You've been known to have made erroneous statements about the Camry in the past however.

You seem to be missing the Value for Money or Pound for Pound side of the deal.

I have lived with and worked with Thais for over 20 years (and this discussion come up in a production meeting the other day) and that is Thais never seem to finish anything off 100%.

That is the be all and end all of the problem with their labour here, not necessarily their products and that is the Nit Noi symdrome ( a little bit = close enough). Too lazy to finish anything off (Kee-kiat) I think was the description I used in the meeting.

Our downtime in the factory you can blame 100% on the engineers for not finishing off the production tooling correctly and you will find this problem all over Thailand affecting every service.

If the car I bought yesterday is low end something is very wrong.

My car must be a gas guzzler whose air conditioning system cannot cope with the Thai heat 350 days a year I guess.

You are entitled to your opinion tud, but the fact remains not many would agree with you.

Again I must state , I have not been let down on the quality of the garments I have ordered and purchased here in Thailand.

555, funny bastard,, I never buy anything on price, I buy because I want what ever it is I buy, and thats the reason that I buy in USA and pay shipping.
I save on price by having quality goods.

Exactly as I have stated and I have worked crews from around the worl, around the world. Close enough is good enough.

It is not about agreeing or disagreeing, it is about the fact that a fwd 4-cylinder saloon is not anywhere near top end.

It is what it is, a middle of the road, four door purposeful saloon car.

Nothing wrong with them, but let's not all get carried away.

USA make many electrical appliances these days ??

Seems you have had a good run with your Thai made OTTO oven.................

The best blu-ray players are Oppo. Made in the US.

Also a lot of other high quality electronics, audio-visual stuff especially.

Yes, but it was also made for export as the box looks like it was for sale down at the corner shop in my home town in the Ochoco mountains of central Oregon.
and happens to be the only thing I have bought Made In Thailand that is really worth a [at][at][at][at] full of cold piss.

I really do not know, but what I do buy there was made for export if it is not made there and sold in the USA and we all know about the better stuff being exported don't we now???????

maybe you need to get out more and meet real manufacturers or just keep on complaining like a washed up nobody.

Not my job to educate you. Besides you've a propensity for dishonesty in the face of your errors.

Ant , have you ever received a severe blow to the cranium ?

I will never gain commission a Thai company to build me specialist products. Even their leading brand names, are incapable.

Their economy of the truth also lets them down time & again. Let's say nothing of 'copy & manufacture'. Ethics is a huge problem.

Nike Bauer , Mission Itech and Easton helmets are Made in Thailand , pure and utter quality in production all the way down the line.

If you have something to say then say it, not interested in your little games sorry.

Failing that I'm going to go back to ignoring you, you're getting all creepy and stalkerish again.
