Look, overall I prefer domestic as much as everyone else on this board, however the presence of imports is vital to us as a consumer base. It increases competition, which results in better price and in better quality. Look what has recently been happening in the market. American car companies gained a reputation of being out of touch with the market and lagging behind the standard in terms of quality. Now whether or not that is actually true is irrelevant; the market works on perception of reality rather than reality itself. However, as a result, the American car companies have been forced to step up their game. Because of this, we have much better products coming down the assembly lines.
Now if only other countries would let us have access to their auto markets like we allow with imports...
