Well instead of all of us sitting and shaking our heads about it actually try and DO something about it and BUY AMERICAN!! I know it is hard to pass up those Hondas and Toyotas but there is more than a car on the line here. The auto industry is a HUGE part of the economy and think of all our fellow Americans that rely on GM to feed their familys.

Aren't you Americans about done with that "Buy American" stuff? Think about it for a second - Where is a Toyota Camry and Honda Accord made? That's right, in America! They are built by your neighbors and employ thousands of Americans. Where are all the parts for a Nissan Titan developed? In the U.S. - interior, sheetmetal, engine, wheels, tires, the whole entire truck. In fact, the Nissan Titan was designed by Americans in California.
I personally would rather buy a product that is going to give my neighbor a job and thus help my community than buy a shoddy product built in Mexico that is going to make some Suit in Detroit a few million in salary bonus.
This is proof that the level of quality in vehicles comes from the headquarters and not the people who build the vehicle. Americans make some of the highest quality vehicles in the world. American companies however do not. I drive a 2004 Yukon which has some minor issues that I can live with.
What did I have before it? A 1997 V6 Toyota 4Runner that I put 250,000 miles on. When I sold it, I got 10 grand for it and it burned no oil (no exageration). Still had its original battery, alternator, starter, rad, exhaust, PS pump and drivetrain. Never failed me once. Something tells me I won't be so lucky with my Yukon.
