Here, regardless of how good, we have a tendancy to believe if it came from someplace else it must be better. Solid German cars....................cleverly engineered Japanese cars.
I laugh when I go to California. It's not just the Toyotas and Hondas (certainly good for CR and JD Power) but it's Suzukis and Mitsubishis. Anything not from here seems to be viewed as better.
At least with computing devices, we have something left. Thanks Apple (even though your stuff isn't made here) LOL

All that, too.
For our part, we still design and engineer things for the most part....manufacturing may have left for the better portion...but we're still the brains of the operation...generally.
And yet, here lies the contradiction, suppose if GM were to ship ALL their manufacturing to "outstanding" Japanese or German assembly and production plants, and import all its vehicles...or if GM were to import their foreign-market vehicles and market them as such.....
OH, the HORROR......
America: make up your damn mind.
As I said....I find the American populace appearing more and more stupid by the second - which upsets me a great deal. Only a few really see the problem, and even less will acknowledge it for fear of....who knows what.
