I dont think toyota reliability has much at all to do with their employees at manufacturing plants.
That is a crazy notion.
It is the engineering.
And i also dont see where lazy fits in the discussion at all. I believe strongly that some car manufactures engineered their cars to last longer but this was their strategy, their plan of attack in the global markets. US automakers were not lazy, they just had a different plan. You know, sales.
It doesnt matter too much today though as the situation has changed drastically. All of the automakers have stepped up and reliability is a priority. That is not saying that every car will last forever. But most cars are very reliable now. Chevy trucks, for example, I have seen many fly past 200k and still run like a top. My neighbor has 315k on his truck and you would never know it unless you looked. It runs and sounds great
