When I am in the market again, I will consider every make - and compare on their qualities. I definitely prefer US-made, but in the scope of things, I have to go with the make that offers the best value and quality, with the features, design, and “stuff” I expect with my $.
Consider buying GM? Sure - but I expect them or any other maker to EARN my hard-earned $.
Almost the same here. Swore off Ford for the most part when they axed the Panther & E series platforms, and slapped turbochargers on detuned engines. GM isn’t doing any better by axing any mass market car with a V6 (or more), model by model.
I’d rather go with a Chrysler if need be for a no-compromise V6. GM if they still make any cars with more than a lawnmower I4. Ford only if there’s affordable non-turbo options (rare).
When the import brands start making US-style land yachts(larger sedans, no I4s) for American prices (not kingly sums), I might give them a bit more of my time and attention. About the closest I’ve driven in that category is the 2011 Hyundai Genesis, and that still was a stretch.
Oh, and I hate CAFE with the passion of a thousand suns for putting good cars out of reach. But then I’m just a bit too old fashioned for wanting an actual engine under the hood.
