?? How do you figure. My SUV is two years old now, I bought it new. So I do. Waste not, want not. I am getting full value out of my vehicle which is pristine and like new. How do you measure the value of a car, not just handling and performance, features and looks, but reliability and endurance, right? That is how Detroit originally foundered. They have pretty much fixed that. I can tell you the vehicles I have picked have over the last 10 years have had zero problems. The two brand new BMWs I had before that in the 80s and into the 90s needed a LOT of repairs. Maybe you need to open your eyes. I.e.,
"How many did you?" None. I refuse to subsidize the production of s**t just because it's "made in America."
U.S. automotive industry now makes a lot of the best cars on the road. So where is your attitude coming from? Meanwhile, my wife slavishly sticks to Toyota, and her cars have needed repair after repair while my American SUVs just go and go. Seems to be more like an article of religous faith for those anti-american car phobes. Just like Todd's denial complex about the trade deficit.
And that means you are part of the problem in more than a few ways...if you bother to think about it.

Just keep drinking the Kool-Aid.
