I agree with that completely.

foreign cars are being viewed as more reliable and economical when they’re not. toyota and honda got a good thing going, whether it’s based on legitamate shit or not

btw when you buy a foreign car you may be employing a few american assembly workers but the majority is still being shipped overseas where the engineering and design crew is. assembly is only a very small part of production
