it will take a lot more than this to garner my confidence in an American car.

+1.

And I'm all for humane treatment of animals. But CGI monkeys can be shot out of cannons for all I care. (hear that, Dodge? It's your next commercial calling.) :cool:

Oh wait its built from parts out of china and mexico so I guess technically its not an 'american' car.

I am actually considering a Chevy Volt. I have to confess, I would have a lot more confidence in the Volt, it it were a Toyota/Honda Volt. But I plan in giving the Chevy Volt a good honest evaluation. I like the technology and until Peugeot decides to market in the US again, the Volt may be the best technical solution in 2011.

My Fords have never let me down.

We have had two fords in our family. A mustang and a focus. Nothing but problems. I guess it is a crap shoot whether you get a good one or a bad one. For me, it is a game of the odds. What are the odds of my getting a lemon American car vs. the odds of getting a lemon foreign (Japan/Europe) car.

Economically, I simply can't justify taking such a chance on an American car these days. I know a lot of people who have gotten lucky with American cars, but I also know more that have been unlucky.

But hey, that's why there is a car market, so each can buy from who they feel comfortable with. :yeah:

Never had a problem with my old Ford that couldn't be fixed... although fixing that beast didn't involve replacing electronics. :hmmm:

those PETA weenies did the same thing with the "trunk monkey" alarm system in 2006 and made them stop the funny commercials
