Yeah, actually you are more of a killer if you kill two people instead of one. You would get sentenced to almost twice as long in prison.

As for the comment about the Camry, so lame. The Camry recall was on an optional feature, and that feature doesn't mean [censored] unless you are involved in a side impact accident. The Ford recall about the gas tank coming off could kill people other than those riding in the 500. If you were to compare say the steering system recall on a Tundra to the F-150 recall for cruise control, where both things are standard features, and obviously parts problems, that would be vaild.

BTW, regardless of the truthfullness of the statement that Ford cars aren't the quality automobiles Toyotas and Hondas are, if that is what people think, it will hurt Ford sales. They need to start worring on a major scale about their image to the American public if they wish to keep selling cars.

So I get the same penalty for one versus two....might as well be twenty.

You my friend show that you haven't worked on multiple automobiles and don't really know what you are talking about. If you had you'd know what it is I'm driving at. I'm not a Ford guy. The last two new cars I've bought weren't Ford, one was domestic and one was foreign. I've owned plenty of japanese cars and I love hondas in particular due to their build quality.
If I had to rank them, it would be Honda #1, Toyota#2/3, BMW #2/3, Mercedes 4/5, Volvo, Audi, VW, Nissan/Mazda, etc. I'm lucky and have worked on and driven at least some models of every car above. I've seen recalls on many of the cars above and read about many more.
I drive a Ford because it was ONE fun car that they made. I've never regretted the SVT nor the money I spent on it.
My point is that almost all of the cars you see on the road are within close competition. The quality is good on all the above and it really is hard to see until you do statistical analyses on the issues. Any of them will treat you well if you take car of it.
