I wouldnt agree with this at all. The 21 would be.
The 22 is a covid model. Meaning they are built by a skeleton crew of temp workers brought in to replace very expensive and seasoned workers that were early retired when Covid shutdowns happened.
Then there's the parts. MFRs around the world have had to lower their QC standards to allow more stock to circulate supply chains. A part that would normally fail QC for whatever reason, are now being allowed to ship due to lowering standards. Its the only way parts for electronics and autos and all other industries are able to make it to final assembly while we are still trying to catch up with supply chain interruption from Covid shutdowns.
Any car you buy from the end of 21 through end of 23 MY or even 24 I would consider a "friday car" or covid car. They will all have compromised parts and quality to some degree. The longevity of these cars/electronics and so on will be quite a bit less in the long run. There are car forums I visit of other brands where people are seeing more OBF or out of box failure of parts like fuel pumps and various modules and so on. Something that you'd never or very rarely see being bad at any point in a car's life. Or at least well down the road. Not within 1000 miles.
Sorry to say but any car you buy since the shortages and shutdowns have started, will likely be of less quality than the previous model years. This is a sad truth. I see it in the computer industry as well. Premature failure of parts that you wouldnt see in 10 years. Power supplies, CPUs, drives, motherboards you name it.
