The American Automotive Industry – Don't Listen To The Doomsday Message

Over the past couple of years I have heard a lot of disparaging remarks about the American automotive industry, to an extent I understand where these doomsday predictions are coming from, but I can't sell them out, not yet i have gotten so much good from it.

I just have to wonder if any of the doom and gloomers have actually spent time working in the industry, it has done me nothing but good, I also constantly hear form the people who have always got to own an import car, they just can't give America a chance again, but for the importers, oh yes they will.

The industry is in a bad way at the moment, but it will pull through, and when it does it will be stronger then ever, unless the government sticks it's big fat fingers in the cookie jar again, if they have problems again, I say no more help from the government, somebody will always step in if they have a chance.

The economy is hurting a lot of things at this point in time, and if you haven't noticed, when the government get's involved it always goes south for the winter, these companies need to take care of themselves, some rich private citizen will always step in to help.

So to this end I say, don't give excused why you can't buy an American car, give the new cars a chance, I'll be the first to admit that the American automotive industry didn't do that great of a job in the 1980's, but then again neither did the importers.

You hear how great imports like Mercedes Benz are, but at some point it time you might want to look at some of the MB owners web sites and take a look at how great most of the owners think that they are, it might just re-tune thinking on the import cars.

They are not better built, they don't back them with better warranties, and they cost a lot more to maintain, so where is all the greatness in owning one of them, where is all of the joy that all of the American car haters get, I fail to understand it.

Now I expect somebody will start waling on me about Toyota, you might want to go an do your own research before you start to harp on me, because I have done the research on this issue, if you can gauge it by number of recalls, Toyota most certainly doesn't win.

Taken the number of recalls is just as high for Toyota as it is for the American car companies, where do you get the idea that they are built to a higher quality standard, please explain it to me because I'd love to hear it, you can't quantify with any proof, because the numbers just don't add up.

I get completely sick of hearing it, to the point that I just begin to think that these people don't like it just because it's American, they are thinking that if it's built in this country that it's a low quality turd, that should never see a day on the road.

For everything these people say bad about an American car, and they are built by humans, and we can all make mistakes, they can point out this fact, or that fact, but I can point out the same type of facts about the wonderful imports that they all love so much.

I don't care what country imports that car, that doesn't even weigh in o the factor, they are all built in a factory, and all of the factories use right close to the same technology, they also use human hands on an assembly line to build them, just like we do.

The processes are the same, rather the car is built here, or in some other country, if you ask a German they will say you spoiled American, your cars are every bit as good as our cars are, but you still complain, because you have to keep up with the Jones-es.

Noe realizing that your the one who sounds dumb in the end, you whine about the state on our country, but you don't want to support it, what an idiot that makes you, you who can't admit that you might have been wrong for all of these years, you who doesn't care about your country.
