And the worst representatives of those same manufacturers are the
ones who characterize the major weapon available to the customer as
scum.

Odd, my lawyer charged me roughly $75 bucks and even paid for his
phone call himself.
It sure is amazing how pure and noble and holy the manufacturers are
and how bottom-feeding the lawyers are. I can only conclude that
a lawyer must have run off with your wife, your jeep, or your dog,
and it was a totally willing abandonment.

> Me too. My wife's mother has purchased a new Accord every 2 years for the
last 10, but she said she will never buy another Honda again, as
well...they lost 2 customers over this.<
This is precisely why I insisted we be proactrive in these matters, we
simply didn't have enough customers to lose, or to endure negative word of
mouth at the country clubs while we played "drag your feet". I ran an
endless ten year battle with the bean counters over this but was lucky my
management backed me up. Very stupid on Honda's part.

the law says. <
Well, no, Matt, they have to or they can lose their State distribution
licenses and face a host of punitive finmes, etc. That doesn't mean they
don't avail themselves of sound defensive strategies, but if they refuse to
obey the law somone's in big trouble.
The hardest part about dealing with this for me initially was the Europeans
couldn't grasp US consumer protection laws. The laws everntually were
adopted by thew UK and the EU in various forms and they slowly caught on,
but initially they thought we were just "rolling over" for the customers.
(Thank GOD I retired!)
