American cars are a joke. Go to the mall parking lot and see for yourself. How many newer GM's still have there paint? How many fords still have there rocker panels? How many dodge trucks still have the bottoms of there doors? Do ford trucks still have there bedside wheelhouses? American car manufactures don't give a crap. Make a 4 year piece of crap and on to the next one. Why people remain loyal to them is beyond me?
Foriegn manufacturers learn from the past. American cars turn a blind eye.
I got a 2011 SHO Taurus here that's barely hit. So far it's up over 14 grand to put this plastic crapbox back together. Only an American car would make the airbags mounted from below so they blow the dashboard and windshield to smitherines. They will never learn. Why not make the airbags in seperate modules like foriegn cars? What's going to happen when this car has 75000 miles on it and suffers this kind of light hit?

There making cars to last untill the loan is paid off and that's it.
Look at a mirror on most toyotas. They come painted for a resonable price. Gm's come in pieces, paint to match, for rediculous prices. Those kool extending mirrors on the ford trucks... 950.00 bucks.
They make crap and there loyal followers will never learn.

Look at the whole line of American cars!

Freaking corvette is a piece of molded plastic BS! Fake intakes on the hood, fake plastic windows to look at the engine! Look at the rear end wrong and it'll probably crack and cost you 40k to replace.

All yours for 100k!

Caddilac's entry isn't much better (CTS-V?)
Really? It looks like a freaking boat.
Its ugly.
Nobody is going to buy that crap if they're in the large saloon market.

Taurus SHO is supposed to "compete" with foreign luxury sport sedans? Then why is the only option a sludge pump? No on the fly traction control settings? Probably doesn't have sport mode either. Oh yeah, its butt freaking ugly.

Back down to the bottom end, where are the hot hatches Europe has? You know, affordable rocketship 3 doors?

Howabout taco sized diesel pickups that the rest of the world has had, oh, FOREVER?

We don't need Utes however.
Nobody needs them.
