It's not brainwashing. It's experience. Think about it, a lot of 50+ folks (I don't call that old since I'm 33) had their main car buying years in the 70's or 80's when American cars...were junk, for the most part.
My first car was a 1987 Toyota Camry. My second car was a 1987 Ford Taurus. Three guesses which one broke down constantly, and which one seemed indestructible until it was nailed by an Acura. When one car goes 400,000 miles with the biggest problem being an alternator replacement, and the other requires three such replacements in the course of a year, plus a complete transmission failure...and you've spent you're life watching Ford-friendly relatives buying POS after POS...what're you supposed to think?
