US vs Foreign cars

Let me start out by saying that,

"THE ONLY PLACE TO DRIVE A FOREIGN CAR IS IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY." People believe what they percieve. Japan did a better job of making people believe their cars were better. They did everything they could to suck up to JD Powers to get their cars listed as best, And people bought into it. I sold cars for some years,(foreign and domestic) and I would say that American cars are not as bad as the press might say. The foreign cars are not as good as the press would let you believe. During that time the Buick Le Sabre was listed in the top five in customer satisfaction. While the Olds 88 was not listed. Suprisingly enough they were built on the same assembly line by the same workers. The difference was that Buick was first to act on the JD Powers surveys. They found out that they could buy a customer's favorable survey results with a free oil change and such as were the Japanese. Thus placing them high on the list of satisfaction. However, I will say in my experience that the Japanese dealer service departments were superior to the domestics. I would also say that a poorly maintained American car will outlast a poorly maintained Japanese car by far. And that if maintained properly there will be very little difference. I also realized that there are only a few types of buyers. Domestic, Japanese, foreign, and trucks. Bigger people don't hardly fit into an import, so domestic might be a better choice. Immigrants from some countries might be more familiar with the Japan or German products. And the last, is for the most part, you can still get a better US truck. I drive a Ponitac Firebird and a Buick Century. They have V6 engines with 165,000 miles and 125,000 miles. Get 27-33 miles per gallon hwy. If I have to rebuild a 1950's Chevy in the future to have a car to drive, I'll still drive American. I hope that when people are driving their foreign car to the unemployment office they might stop to think what part in the economy they had. And that they might ask themselves, Why has Japan had the best fuel efficient or alternative cars ready to sell when the gas shortage of 70's and the recent high prices of fuel have hit? Pearl Harbor, Never Forget!

Auto Industry

There is so much wrong with the American Auto industry that I would need space equal to "war and peace" to list it all. The Automakers have lost touch with the American public. They have spent a Century trying to please a greedy Union. While most other consumable products prices have been going own,Automobile prices keep going up. The main reason? Paying all the Union Demands. The Car manufacturers have added all kinds of bells and whistles to cars and told the American public that " it's what they want." Most people don't know how to operate half the accessories on their car. Most people can't remember what year their car is. You can't buy an American car or truck with manual windows anymore. The best thing for the American car manufacturer to do is to go bankrupt. Maybe the some of purchaser of the components can actually get it right this time. At least for a while.
