"I'll stick to imports thanks" good for you, nobody is asking you to change. Stick with your imports and let domestic buyers enjoy their vehicles instead of going back and forth with pointless arguments. Just because domestics failed you, doesn't mean they fail everybody else. Same goes for imports, they are no better these days either.

I never have understood why Americans want to destroy American jobs. It seems very counter-productive. Putting a million workers out of business would have caused a major depression in this country. That would have been a disaster for everyone.
As for GM, they are now making huge profits, outselling Toyota worldwide as of this year, and building a far better product. 22 MILLION recalls hardly speaks "quality" for Toyota. That is more cars than some car makers have built in their entire history!! And yes, GM has repaid the loans. Check the facts.
A test of the new Chevy Cruze Eco today stated that they got 48.5 mpg on the highway portion of the test. And that is in a non-hybrid car that doesn't cost a small fortune. GM is definitely a force to be reckoned with, second now only to Ford, and light years ahead of anything from Japan. Even Chrysler is now turning a profit, employing tens of thousands more Americans and building extremely high-quality vehicles such as the new 200, 300, Charger, Challenger and Durango. Blind allegiance to foreign companies due to ad hype does little to help our country. Buying American does.
