Why should I buy an American car if I can get a similarly priced Japanese vehicle that is of vastly better quality and won't fall to pieces as soon as the warranty expires?
My experience with American cars is that they generally suck. The problem is union labor. Japanese cars made by non union workforces in the US seem to be fine. It's the union made cars that are crap.
Oh, yes.
It's a Ford.
Therefor it's crap.
Some dude on the interwebs-thingy said so ...
buy VW- support spreading union socialism in OTHER PEOPLE’S country.
I think the problem is union pay scales combined with their lower productivity. Bottom line is that to sell their products for roughly the same price as the Japanese manufacturers, despite the higher cost and lower productivity of UAW labor, Detroit has to lower the specs for their automotive components, which translates into higher repair bills for domestic car buyers.
