The overall automotive industry structure is different in the US versus Europe and Japan that share some similarity. In the US, subsystems manufacturers are the results of spin-offs from GM (Delphi) and Ford (Visteon) and cannot be considered as independent as the European subsystem auto makers. In addition, Ford and Gm have hardly invested in the recent past to improve substantially their design methods. It is common belief, and we concur with this assessment, that the European automotive industry is the most advanced in terms of quality and design approaches.
