I love all of the American Car Haters in the world. I have owned both Japanese and German cars, and can tell you that the Germans loved to be worked on, and the Japanese cars, while trouble free, were the most boring, souless, tinny junky cars I have ever had the displeasure of owning. I now own several GM cars, all of them purring along just fine. My 2007 Tahoe LT3 is one of the best cars we have owned - EVER. Our XLR is great to look at and fun to drive. The Corvette is such a sweet car with the LS1 thumping under the hood...smooth is not enough of a word to describe that car. In 23 years of driving, NOT ONE of my GM cars failed to get me to or from where I was going. In over 50 years of driving, my father can say the same thing. We left GM when we lost our choices of RWD cars. We dabbled in BMW and found the cars to be fun to drive, and lots of $$$ to maintain. And frankly, the build quality sucked on the minor stuff you should NEVER worry about in cars that cost that much - lenses falling off, interior trim falling off repeatedly - stuff that has never happened in my GM's costing a third or less of what we paid for the BMW.

So buy a GM car, they ARE as good or better then the imports, and frankly, you will be saving YOUR COUNTRY...which is truly the important thing to do right now. I will be ordering my Camaro when I can sit in one and drive one. Same goes for my dad. He wants a replica of BLACK...the XLR will be leaving for the two RS/SS coupes we plan to order. We have also decided to flip our fleet of trucks early here at the office to 'try' and help GM move some inventory. GM will come back strong IF WE AS CONSUMERS EMBRACE THEM AS OUR OWN AGAIN. But really, it is UP TO US to help GM.
