Being from Michigan I used to subscribe to the “buy American” BS. Only owned GM vehicles. Now that I’m older and wealthier I buy vehicles new. I’ve switched to Japanese cars. One ‘24 Honda and one ‘24 Nissan. Both naturally aspirated minimal BS power trains. The Honda has a cvt which is annoying but I’ll trust Honda more than the big 3.
I would buy American if they built anything that was worth a crap. American cars are the only line of crap. Range Rovers are horrible. Porsches. Jaguars. Maserati. Why spend that much on a “status symbol” that spends most of its time in the shop? How did these rolling wrecks become status symbols in the first place?
