I’ve now bought three American-brand cars new.

The first was a rebranded Kia.

Both recent have been American, made in the USA. They have been exceptional.

Zero problems with any of them. One even after a significant crash. American cars are very robust.

And yet this very article we are discussing says Asian brands dominate the Consumer Reports quality survey's.

You may have had some good luck, but the perception that American cars are of poor quality didn't come from nowhere. For many years Detroit made down right awful products, now they are just less good than their Japanese competitors.

I will reconsider an American car in the future once they prove to me that their union workforce can assemble something that doesn't fall apart long before it's Japanese competitors products do. My hunch is if the UAW was broken and the workers were no longer unionized, the product quality would improve.
