I'd love to for jobs, but I have to think of long term quality. The competition in the marketplace is supposed to lead Detroit to building better cars, which would increase their sales, thus increasing their profits (on paper, anyway). I'd be happy to buy American (very happy, actually), if they were selling what I wanted to buy. |

Well, Detroit cars are not exactly cheap, but most of them (with a few models being exceptions) are very cheaply built. I can't afford a new car unless my dad will pass on his 02 Accord to me (since this message is crossposted, I drive a 94 Accord EXR) so when buying a used car, I always buy Honda. I chose Hondas because I like them, but any Japanese car will be better than the same class Detroit one. And as a side issue, I guess we invaded the alt.space.monkey.invaders newsgroup with those posts. :) Cosmin |
Re: Why aren't foreign cars as good as American cars?
You certainly are entitled to you opinion but most Americans
disagree with you. American buy more domestic vehicles from GM and Ford than ALL of the foreign owned brands combined, including German owned Chrysler. mike hunt Liam Devlin wrote: > > Nevell Lewis wrote: > > You got it backwards, why aren't american cars as good as foreign cars? > > Just got bad news today my GM car needs a new tranny, 60,000 miles.

I feel the same way about foreign cars: I'd be happy to buy one if they were selling a decent-looking 400+HP V8 GT car for under $40,000. However, this is a market segment that is only being served by American car makers. --- Jesus Loves You Everyone else thinks you're an |
