The difference is that german automakers started competing with japanese cars early on and were able to be a serious competition to import all this time (and if car from my country is as good as import and with the same price, why fight old habits and support overseas companies?), while The Big Three was ignoring the japanese competition and lost.

If by patriotic you mean - we want to buy it for less. Then yes we are very patriotic. That is why Wal-Mart is so hugely successful - we don't want American, we want cheaper. If it meant getting a toaster for 50 cents less we would slit every U.S. workers' throat and watch them bleed. Then spit on the corpse.
