There is a balance in the quality argument between the more identifiable 'performing to a certain specified standard' and ' the best possible without thought of cost'.
An ultra reliable Hyundai i10 may be of a better quality than a averagely reliable Rolls Royce, but we all know that the RR has a higher standard of materials, fixtures and fittings and will probably be around 30 years after the Hyundai has been scrapped.
Which is of higher quality - a Chippendale or Sheraton dining table or one from Ikea?
