Based on my experiences "regular" people don't pay any attention to this, and even if they do it's minimal.
If I asked my mother what she knew about Toyota, right now, she wouldn't say much - she would say it's a reliable car based on the fact that she has heard it from other people... Real world data doesn't get to her, unless I tell her. (I'm the family car/maintance consultant
) When she watches TV, I can assure you it will not be automotive news, or Congress annoying Toyoda.
Take my g'sf mother, she couldn't care less if MB becomes the biggest POS tomorrow, she will still buy one - because it projects the image she wants. She doesn't want to drive a Chevy, or a Ford, or a BMW for that matter. It's MB or Porsche, nothing else. Solely based on the image, quality has 0 to do with her decisions.
In my opinion, people who pay attention to auto news are already above "average" car person. Hell the "average" can't replace a bulb, even if it takes less than one minute.
Of course, as an admin, you're allowed to disagree and I will not call you a bad name
