Foreign cars

In the pre-daimler days my cousins delivery business had over a dozen caravans which all had routine oil changes and standard maintenance done on them. While the occasional alternator or water pump went out he was able to get an average of 300,000 miles on the entire van with the exception of the 150,000mi on the transmissions.

No doubt that there are some things that American car companies do better than the foreign ones. American car makers still rule the full size truck market because they build a quality product in this segment (at least Ford and GM). Chrysler is still one of the top minivan manufacturers today. They invented the segment. Chevy's Corvette is one of the most reliable American cars built.

Then we get into mid-size sedans and compacts, which make up the majority of most middle class and working class America. This is where the foreign car companies played their cards and now dominate the market.

I'll extend an olive branch here. Like I told Rice Nuker, if you are serious about writing letters or using any other medium to affect politics, I will endorse you.
