I typed in "American cars" on Google and was suggested "American cars are junk". But my question is: What is wrong with American cars? Toyota's 2009-2011 recall affected over 12 million automobiles. Ford's latest recall has effected less than 1 thousand cars. Hyundai's latest recall has effected almost 1 million cars. GM's latest recall has affected less than 30 thousand cars. Which one sounds safer to y'all? American car manufacturers have shorter warranties because they don't need a long warranty when safety risks are so low. Everyone keeps talking about how great foreign manufactured cars are but they can't show me actual numbers to support this bias against our own. Like, do foreign people have special hands and superior brains that just make them genetically better at building cars? I was personally in a Mercedes Benz and a Jeep wrangler hit us and almost totaled our car my mom and I both have spinal cord injuries now and the woman in the Jeep was completely fine and only her Jeeps bumper was damaged. I was recently hit by a Ford mustang and the Mustang only had a very tiny scratch. I will never purchase a foreign automobile they just don't stand up to the safety reviews IRL. Although I am in a lot of pain because of them I am quite impressed with sturdy brute force of American made cars. My next car will most definitely be a Jeep or a Mustang.
Consumer Reports says that some Ford vehicles “now rival the best from Japan.” In the latest J.D.Power dependability study, GM's Buick division tied with Jaguar for the top spot, beating out Lexus and Toyota.
GM and Ford recently rolled out “payment protection plans,” at no extra charge, that will cover your monthly payment for several months if you lose your job. Ford's plan covers up to 12 months of payments as high as $700 per month. GM's plan covers up to nine months of payments, up to $500 per month.
American cars are way more stylish and fierce to me. There's still a kind of muscular styling that's uniquely American, evident in vehicles like the forthcoming Chevy Camaro, the Dodge Charger, the Pontiac G8 and the Ford Mustang. When other makes try to mimic American muscle cars, the result is often more comical than compelling. And nobody can replicate the rugged appeal of Jeep, which remains one of the world's most iconic brands.
The Ford Fusion, Chevy Malibu, Toyota Camry, and Honda Accord are all priced about the same, for instance, and all have similar quality ratings. But Ford is offering rebates of up to $3,500 on the Fusion, while Chevy is offering 0 percent financing on the Malibu. Honda offers no discounts on the Accord.
Recent GM introductions, such as the Buick LaCrosse V6 (FWD), Cadillac SRX, and Chevrolet Camaro and Equinox, are proving reliable from the get-go.
It's time to show some support for the home team. Boosting the American automotive industry could save jobs, help spur the development of new technologies here instead of overseas, and maybe even lead to Detroit's resurgence. Buying one of their cars is one way for ordinary individuals to try to make a small difference, the same way environmentalists might buy a hybrid, even if it doesn't save them money. So maybe it's time to park some patriotism in your driveway.
