I buy American when possible. There's nothing particularly wrong with imports. I've driven them. I just don't feel that I should encourage foreign investment when superior products are produced domestically.
People who claim that domestic cars "suck" really irk me. How do they suck? They drive as far, as fast, and as long.
It always makes more sense to support your country when you have a choice of similar styles at the same price when it comes to anything. For most people who buy cars, they like aspects of a lot of cars. They only get attached after the purchase. When some components really draw people, it makes sense to commit to a brand or product, but most people would be just as happy in a Toyota as they would be in a Dodge. It amazes me that people close themselves off to the options that serve their countrymen the best. I have nothing against the Japanese, but I don't buy their cars or anyone else's because I'd rather keep Americans employed.
I guess most people don't really think about the implications of their decisions.
