American war veterans have long memories.

My father & uncles would roll over in their graves if they saw a Toyota in my garage. You do know what Toyota did in WWII...

I’ve got a Jeep Cherokee that has served me well for 20 friggin’ years. And I will continue to purchase American labels as long as possible. Not to mention the long list of American classic cars that I have yet to purchase.

Semper Fi,
Kelly

Whoa, ease up there cowboy... I’m not going to buy a bad car just to support American industry. My truck is a daily driver, unlike the “long list of American classic cars” that you have yet to purchase. And my truck was “Made in the USA” by American labor in an American plant—just not the bloated labor force of the UAW.

What a company did 60+ years ago is irrelevant—or do you want companies to pay reparations for supporting slavery 160+ years ago too? A true conservative wants the market to decide which products survive—and I suggest that Chrysler makes a worse overall product than many of its competitors.

I drove a Grand Wagoneer many years ago and absolutely loved it until the cost of maintaining it went through the roof. It was probably the same vintage as your Cherokee...so I know they DID make a good product once...just not now (or recently). I also owned a Dodge Ram truck that I loved until the transmission went out and Dodge wouldn’t replace it, even though it was the same problem they recalled bunches of trucks for. Caveat emptor.
