I've owned non American vechiles for a while now. And why shouldn't I? My Pruis gets 50mpg on the avg, my last few Toyota's were great on gas, lasted without problems. My American vechiles got piss poor mileage, always needed repairs & couldn't hold up long enough to out last the paymens.
When the US makes a product that is better then I while buy it.

Try asking the manufactures why they produce trash.
Granted we do build some good products but motor vechiles is not one of them.
