Quote:Chris, when was the last time you drove a new american car? Nothing like a stereotype without relevant information. I am not defending Detroit, I had a full ride in college on GM's tab but bailed because the crap they sold was such junk. The last american car I bought was in 86 and fell apart after 60K miles. But I will not make a statement about the quality of their cars today without trying a couple.I just drove a new Corvette the other day. And yes it was junk. Do the big three have special suppliers that provide chintzy materials? And the workmanship was horrible. They should really just go buy a VW and study it to see how to build good cars.
Given the right situation I would give them another chance and hope they hear the changes needed. I object to the government just goving out money. With this concept it would be survival of the best cars , not the best complainers.
