"My great-grandfather, grandfather and father fought against these people," he said of countries that are leading competitors of American automakers. "We're killing ourselves by buying their cars. I drive a Dodge truck, and always buy American."

This person is 25 - very sad. He needs to stop worry about the battles fought 60 years ago and worry about the ones being fought now. His "American" cars may very well be built in Mexico or Canada.

"The problem started in the late 1960s and early 1970s."


EVERY problem started in the late '60s!

(I'm not kidding!)

I don't care how "good" people say Japanese branded cars are. My personal experience says otherwise. I've owned GM, Ford, and Nissan branded vehicles. I would rate the Nissan lower than the GM in overall satisfaction. That said, I have been driving Ford trucks since the late 80's and am very satisfied. The Jap cars seem to lack something, charm, character, maybe soul.
