2016 BMW X3 - a great small SUV. I must have voted for Hitler.

I will not buy a car made by Ford or GM, but I am quite happy to buy cars made by foreign manufacturers in the USA. It’s not the workers, its the unions and the management.

In 1981, the US pushed Japan into a VER (voluntary export restriction) under intense pressure from GM and the UAW. As soon as the restrictions were in place, GM gave their executives massive bonuses and jacked up the price of cars.

I swore then I would never buy another GM product and 35 years later, I still have not.
