The change was dramatic.

I'll never go back.

I'm too old to deal with an unreliable piece of shit.

There really isn't any difference any more, especially since most of the Japanese cars we buy are made right here.

American car companies do a very decent job these days.

There are two 15 year old Chev Impala LSs in the garage that say they have been doing a damn good job for quite some time. After her time teaching in Japan if I was silly enough to bring home a rice burner Florence would set fire to it in the driveway.

Yeah but you're one of those older than dirt old dudes that keeps it in the garage except for once a week when you make a three mile round trip to get groceries. Of course is lasts forever. A car owned by a senior citizen is the next best thing to keeping it in a time capsule.

Yep. However, John, you are talking to people who will cite a Pinto they had in high school 40 years ago as proof that every Ford, GM or Chrysler product ever built is a piece of shit. Completely ignoring all of the 40+ year old American branded vehicles still in use.

It's called "narrowmindedness".

I don't care. I gave American Cars more than a fair chance. I gave them second, third, and fourth chances. They blew it. I'm done with them and I'm never going back.

Went for a walk around the park and was struck by the preponderance of Japanese company cars. It seems like NY consumers are of the same opinion...they are not going back.
