Reply #19: Ummm... sorry. Until I see an "American" car that is on-par with "imports," I won't buy one

I don't owe GM, Ford or Chrysler a damned thing. Build me a car that I want to drive, and which lasts a long time, and I'll hop right in line for it. Continue building massive SUV's and sub-par cars, and I'll stick with imports. If I can find an acceptable American-made product, I will go out of my way to buy it, even if it's more expensive. The key term is "acceptable."

I fully support the American worker, not necessarily the American UNION worker. If Honda and Toyota can build cars here while giving the workers good pay, benefits and job security, that's all I care about. Perhaps the reason there aren't any union workers with the imports is because the "import" companies don't treat American workers like sh*t. Eventually the only American location for GM, Ford and Chrysler will be their headquarters, assuming they don't up and move to Dubai. The number of "American-made" cars these companies builds south of the border and in countries such as China, doesn't seem to phase people.

Blame the big 3's designs and management practices, not the worker, NOR the consumer.
