The entire reason GM and others are making quality cars now is because of Japanese, Korean and German competition. It was because they were/are getting their ass handed to them that they finally figured out “Hey we need to make more reliable cars with better interiors”.
So you should be thanking Jeff2010 not condemning him. I’m pretty sure he’s paying taxes, shopping at his local grocery store and Wal-Mart just like the rest of us.

You have a good point, but I think the reference is based on the current economic climate. The fact is that if people don't give the American companies a chance, you may not have a choice at all in the future of any American cars. I don't think the country will be better off if that happens (although I am sure Germany and Japan's economies would pick up).
