Seems like the culture is actually starting to change, because it used to be a short sighted vision of building as many cars as possible and worry about QC later.

The failed Explorer launch light a fire under the company, because it was a disaster and the resulting recalls cost the company hundreds of millions. Might have been a blessing in disguise. Feedback from Thai dealers has been overwhelmingly positive on the vehicles they have received so far, so so far its looking good.
TLDR Franco is glad he's out

I do my best work when I'm in my 'office'

Yep, the only difference there is you're doing the same quality control work, its just being done before it gets to a customer, rather than afterwards, the process is still there its just been shifted to a point where you aren't damaging your brand.

My saying is don't give people a reason to start looking, when you give someone the ****s enough thats when they start looking for alternatives/your competitors.

Century has given a lot of us in this thread a reason to go looking into other product.
