Where in the world has this guy been? For quite a while I would have agreed completely with him - Japanese cars were build to last, American cars weren't. American cars have improved greatly since the bad old days of the 70's and 80's.
A second problem with his idea is what is an American car and what is foreign? I really don't care where a company holds its board meeting. An American car is defined by where it is built and where its parts came from. A Honda built in the US is more of an American car than a Chevy build in Canada.
Disagree there. It doesn't matter where the overhead is spent (where it's built) nearly as much as where the profits go. The ideal is an American made product where the profits stay in America. Barring that, better to buy a car made elsewhere where the profits come back to America, than a car manufactured here in the U.S. where the profits go to Japan or Korea.
