(37,648 posts)it's not my fault the car mfrs that have unions didn't build a car that meets my needs.
I had to buy in a hurry, because of the repairs needed on my old car (Subaru Forester ,14 years old - yes I looked at American back then, too).
But I'll be getting a larger car in a few years, maybe. So I'll at American again, just like the times before then. Maybe they'll have better reliability by then.
For people who keep cars just a few years, reliability doesn't matter much. But I keep my cars a long time.
So....an even MORE verbose post.
BTW...people can't be expected to research where models are made and asssembled, etc., before buying. Some Hondas and Toyotas are made in America, some Fords are assembled in Mexico, some GMs are assembled here but parts come from abroad, etc.
