While gearheads tend to focus on how quickly a car can reach 60 mph, or how effectively a machine can get itself around a corner, auto manufacturers have a lot more on their plates.

Instead, offering cars to the vast majority of the population that don’t care about performance, and rather dependability and quality, is their real bread and butter.
