Buying American is it really worth it?

[Ghosty]

Toyotas are awesome... They assumed people would keep buying them and their quality went down hill as they cut corners or stopped innovating. It doesn't mean I'll never buy "American", just not until they can offer the same value/quality product that these other companies are putting out there.

The big 3 burned alot of bridges in the late 70's and 80's when they made cars that were mostly crap...I don't understand the Korean car love, but I will say I've been tempted by them - lots of features at a low price and they're assembled in Alabama.

My thoughts pretty much. As for Hyundai/Kia, the new Optima is sick, amazing car loaded with features, and is a very nice looking sedan, for CHEAP.

Ford HAS indeed been stepping up to compete. I'm very impressed by the latest Explorer and Fusion, they're some badass looking vehicles with all the bells & whistles.
