The build quality and looks of Chevy and new Fords are terrible. No wonder no one is buying them. They have the build quality and styling like a Daewoo. Just look at the new focus. ---

Just look at the new focus. what are you talkin about about. its all perception and preconcieved notions. my dad has worked on cars for close to 40 years and is under both american and foreign cars everyday. he completely says the contrary. american cars are breaking no more than foreign cars and cost about half as much to fix. no one is buying them because they’ve gone away from american styling and try to look to much like the shit coming outta japan. America is also a hugely sheepish society, motherfucker believe TV commercials and propoganda like motor trend. he had an 05 hyundai come in with a rotted engine craddle. rotted that it couldnt pass inspection… an 0 fuckin 5 son! the only problem GM did was make cars in the 80’s so good they lasted forever then they realized they couldnt sell as many cars if they built everything like that and they instead made disposible shit boxes in teh 90’s. cieras/centurys/6000s/celebrities still all over the road like no ones business. find me and 80’s honda/ toyota in the numbers you see american cars… nope can’t do it… they’ve already be recycled into other things…that is if they hadn;'t already disinigrated into a rust pile. the difference between a rusted GM and a rusted foreign car is the GM will look bad when it rusts and the foreign car will fall apart. ---

it was bound to happen at some point. ford will regain it’s edge though one of these days if they market their new cars correctly. ---

I threw in some edits to reiterate what I was trying to say. I know you mis-interpreted it and had to find a way to prop 80’s GM cars. But essentially you said the same thing while arguing with me. You don’t see many 80’s foreign cars on the road as you do domestics, but that’s the point here. THat build quality and styling of many foreign cars are far outweighing their domestic counterparts. GM ain’t the same as it was when it crafted what you tend to be bias towards “the greatest chassis platform known to man.” ---
