he mvth of superior mport quality.

Myths have a way of confusing fact with fiction.

Take the myth of superior quality some people associate _ with an import car. Fact is, 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 in 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.
