american cars have improved significantly since the collapse of 08, they were forced to consolidate and put out a better product. ford cars particularly were already trending up in the mid 00's. if you're in the honda, toyota, kia, hyundai shopping range, you'd be foolish not to look at fords and select chevy's. people blatantly writing off american cars are either folks stuck on 90's talking points or those in the luxury market. american sedans and suvs are pretty much neck and neck.

No, they have gotten better design wise. just wished they had more reliability like other cars... there's no reason they cannot build a car built to last. :francis: but that's how they get you, forcing you to buy parts so they can keep eating...
Yeah I was reading this on another forum. American cars profit on parts/maintenance so they're built to give you problems at 60-80k while Japanese cars are built to keep you happy till 100-120k to protect their name (likely since Americans had blind loyalty).

:myman:

This would be the perfect car for me. I wanted a Camaro SS, but I got 2 toddler sons. :heh: @ 2 car seats in the backseat of a Camaro.

The Chevy SS gives you 4 doors and 400+ hp:ohlawd:


I need that car
Since you from the Midwest, question :jbhmm:
Is there an overall loyalty to American cars? I know/heard Detroit has it but is this true for the Midwest in general?
