Just in case Mr. Plagiarism decides to edit his original on the other site. Btw, just noticed that you quote JD Power too, hmmm, seems an awful lot like my other post from the other thread.

What people don't understand, and it's not a tough concept to master, but seems to escape many people, is the the big 3 make hundreds of thousands of cars in a year for the MASSES. They are not a boutique manufacturer like the BMW's, MB, Porsche, Audi's, Vdub, infiniti, lexus type manufacturers who make tens of thousands of cars that are marketed to a higher income bracket. In order to make those cars affordable to the masses, the big 3 can't load them up with top grain leathers, and have 1micrometer gaps in body panels, etc etc etc. (however, GM does make a lot of innovations that beat the boutiques to market: MSRC, heads up display, PDC, onstar to name a few). If they did, the average american wouldn't be able to afford them, it's a simple concept.

Also, the US economy is heavily reliant on the big 3, 1 in 8 US jobs is in some way related to the automotive industry. It's everyone's right to be critical, but to be undeservedly critical of a US manufacturer that has come a long way in the last 10 years and is part of the foundation of the US economy is absolutely short sighted and ignorant.

Do I buy American exclusively ? Nope, I'm a car guy, every car has it's pros and cons for different lifestyles, but I won't completely disregard US brands because of historical stereotypes that no longer hold true for many models.

I guess in your pathetic life, negative attention is just as welcomed as positive. That's pretty sad.


Carry on.
