2007 Accord - Cruise Control

You must be joking, right? A good deal of Honda's business success
today is built upon their reputation for robust long lasting vehicles.

Exactly so. Looking in today's auto classifieds I see a 2001 Ford Taurus
advertised for $2950 and a 2001 Honda Civic DX for $9995. Fords have a
reputation for the sort of design you mention, AZ. Hondas don't... and it
shows.

Of course. Who needs real quality when you have a reputation to sit on?
Have you repaired a sony lately? Absolute crap yet people still buy them
based on a reputation thirty years out of date.

right, but if gas is being injected, the air/fuel mix has to remain
roughly proportional to avoid problems with emissions, detonation, etc.
quantity of diesel injected otoh has no such restriction and can be
anything from full to zero at exactly the same rpms - and the driver has
no direct control over that.

 

Sony must be hit and miss because I still buy their products (as I have for
20 years) and the only problem I can recall was a bum headphone jack in a
Walkman I bought in the late 80s. In the last 3 years, I have bought a Sony
DVD player, a Sony digital camera, and a Sony stereo for my since traded-in
Accord. No problems with any of these.

That reputation is as solid as a puff of smoke. It can, and will, go
away in a moment unless it's being constantly fortified.
