Do you agree with this quote regarding how people buy cars?

[Peikko 1,575]

Well, it was a while ago and most people have moved forward...

This attitude of buying American because it is American has probably done more harm to the American Auto Industry than anything else. There is no incentive to create a great product.

im not going to go out and buy a japanese car who not so long ago bombed the hell out out our country, so i have loyality toward america also.

Cars.com has an "American-made Index". The Index includes where the parts are made and where the car is assembled, among other things. Of the top 10 cars in the Index, 4 are Toyota's and 1 is Honda. The #1 car in the list - the Toyota Camry.

The world has moved on, I suggest you do the same.

i buy gm one....i like them and have good luck with them.....also since i work for them there is also a loyality toward them. secondly, im not going to go out and buy a japanese car who not so long ago bombed the hell out out our country, so i have loyality toward america also.

This is, by the way, a great example of a "belief system" approach

Well, Pearl Harbor is in the U.S., therefore, the "U" is superfluous.

Give in to the Dark Side

How much more do I need to know about a Chevy Malibu or an Impala? What am I missing?

A lot, I'm sure.

For example, did you know that

• Chevy Malibu earned the highest possible rating in recent government frontal and side-impact crash tests — five stars?
• Chevy Malibu comes with the best coverage in America: the 100,000 mile/5-year Powertrain Warranty plus Roadside Assistance?
• Chevy Malibu had a hybrid model?

Did you know mawilson now works for Detroit?

[mawilson 2,133]

Yes. Or buying stuff made in China.

No, but Detroit works for me now.

I believe that most American cars are worthless ####### and hence, I wouldn't buy one.

What if third parties like Edmunds, JD and Consumer Reports said otherwise?

You mean like they do when the they get advertising money and then HYPE whoever buys their pages for ads...

So when I look at CR and see Hondas and Toyotas dominating the top 10's of most categories, I should disregard it?

Don't forget that you need proper health insurance to be a REAL American too.
