Frankly the origin of the car to me isn't as important as quality and attention to customer service. I've owned domestic cars and foreign cars. Domestics didn't give me a good feeling to own like my foreign cars have.

My favorites have been Mercedes-Benz and Toyota, with Chrysler coming in third.

I'd hate to see a big employer like GM die, that wouldnt' be good for our economy but their ideas and concepts as well as their management is atrocious. Unions have done little to empower workers and a lot to do with the state of the domestic auto industry.

GM's biggest faults lay in their idea that marketing solves their problems. The cause of their problems are processes and products that are outdated, lackluster and for all intensive purposes boring and irellevant to their proposed end user.

Cars are made well again. For decades they weren't.

Cars last a long time.

However, people need to feel as though they have recieved value. Value is not just a reflection of price, but that of quality, safety, longevity and resale value.

I hope for GM and Ford that they fix themselves quick. Don't assume what America wants. Forget concepts. Spend everything you can to get close to the hearts and minds of Americans.

I love the US and I would love to support every single product we have but if my hard earned dollars are going to be spent it will be on value not just American pride.
