Sorry to burst your bubble, but I actually owned new full size Chevrolets and my parents owned Lincolns and Cadillacs. All V8 from that era. Not crap. That's your opinion. It's not just American flag, as we owned higher end imports as well. Maybe the build quality was higher on our full sizes. We always ordered V8s then. In the 60s and 70s my other relatives bought Plymouths, also full size V8s. The 383 engine was one my uncle always praised. Easily passed 100k highway driving.

If all these full size vehicles were crap, why were they were they put in as new government vehicles, company cars, fleets etc? I don't buy into your comments. It's not a flag thing; it was proven history and I was there. I have mixed ownership and like certain imports and domestics. This USA only was never the point. It's outstanding, well equipped, quality vehicles. I like European cars for a nice family car. I suspect maintenance cost will be heavier. But it's only money. You buy what you like. I only despise wasting free time going to dealerships. Some cars like new BMW are ones I won't even consider because of repairs. To each his own. If your parents couldn't make 50k on a new car back then, something sounds off. If the content is your point today, then why aren't they buying brand new domestics? I had bad experiences with some imports, but am not against 2017 new ones, with great amenities.
