Rather, it is because what they have been buying in the past failed them time and again.
This has to be one of the lamest rationalizations ever. I (and everyone in my family) have owned nothing but American vehicles my whole life. Not even one time did any of us have what would be considered "a lemon" or a car in need of constant repair.
My Sierra is under full warranty for 6 years 80,000 miles........Ive had it 4 years and used it once.
This illusion that all American cars are junk and foreign cars last forever is ludicrous..............pure urban legend.
EVERY Datsun, Nissan and Toyota that was made in the 70's-80's turned into a massive rust bucket............the beds on Nissan/Datsun trucks were famous for practically rusting right off.............Why?? Because they used cheap steel to make their vehicles more affordable. Everyone seems to conveniently forget that though. If one of the Big 3 had that problem they would still be getting crucified for it.
If foreign cars are SOOOOOOO reliable and last SOOOOOOOO long........how come our streets aren't littered with 20-30 year old foreign cars??
Weird.
