Myths havea way of confusing fact with fiction.

Take the myth of superior quality some people associate
with an import car. Fact ts, for 1983 calendar year the
imports had over 3 times the percentage of recalls of North
American car makers. More import cars were recalled for
safety related reasons than were actually sold in North
America tn 1983.*

Is import quality all it’s cracked up to be? A recall
record 3 times higher than domestic car makers says it isn't.

Another fact. Of all North American manufacturers,
Chrysler had the lowest percentage of recalls of ‘82's
and '83's.**

Ask yourself this: if all manufacturers believed in the
quality of their cars, why don't they back them the way
Chrysler does? Nobody else gives you protection for five
years or 80,000 km on the engine and powertrain. Against
outer panel rust through. Not the imports, not the domestics.

You can go witha myth. Or Chrysler, the best built,
best backed North American cars.

*Import recalls in 1983 calendar year based on data issued by Transport Canada and NHTSA in the
US Import recalls exceeded sales by 25 4%

** Based on percent of recalls for 1982 and 1984 model years for cars desrened and built in
North America
