You can buy with your heart......or with your head. if you buy with your head, though.....the Toyota is hard to beat.
I'm all for supporting American made products......but my Toyota is a MUCH finer vehicle than the GM or Ford produts......AND....it's made in America, too.
I'm sorry but as a General Motors employee I need to respond because this statement is loaded with so many mis-truths that deserve correction. The biggest issue we at GM face right now is the PERCEPTION GAP. The perception is that Toyota and the Japanese companies make better quality vehicles than GM. Reality proves that this is simply not true. But people's perceptions / opinions take a long time to change. All we can do is keep putting out top notch products like the 07 Silverado - The Motor Trend Truck of the Year and The North American International Auto Show Truck of the Year.
Check out this link for a side by side comparison of the Silverado against the competition - including Toyota. In every category imaginable, from fuel economy to towing power to interior room to safety, the Silverado wins hands down. I'm sick and tired of hearing how much better Toyota is when it just isn't true....
