The parent commenter is calling out a bias inherit to the study.
- paxys 3y agoWhat is the bias?
- thephyber 3y agoThe first 3 years of a new car are almost always covered under manufacturer warranty, hence manufacturers have a strong financial incentive to minimize issues in that time interval. A less biased review would also include years 3-7 at least, but perhaps up to 10.
- paxys 3y agoThat's not what bias means. If I'm in the market for a new car I want to know how the 2022 model is expected to perform. Whether the car was reliable 10-15 years ago isn't all that relevant to me considering how quickly lines are refreshed.
- davidmurdoch 3y agoBut the company's culture around quality likely hasn't changed much, so long-term reliability is a useful secondary metric for those who want to keep their new car for a long time.
- smeej 3y agoI see absolutely no reason to assume company culture is unlikely to change much over 10-15 years.
- davidmurdoch 3y ago0 reason?
- smeej 3y agoCompany culture changes all day, every day, in reaction to thousands of factors, any one of which could prove to be significant. It seems absurd to me to expect company culture not to change much over 10-15 years.
- davidmurdoch 3y agoI think Toyota and their "5 whys" and Tesla with their "move fast and breaks things" are decent examples of ways a culture has lasted over time and has continually effected their products.
- nebula8804 3y agoThis does not match with reality. When a company is on the chopping block there are many instances of them finding a way to make things works. (eg. Big three after the bailouts, Ford running up the launch of the Taurus, Kia in the 70s, Nissan when Carlos Gohsn joined etc)
