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.
