If only the domestics made practical fun awd sports cars at a reasonable weight. How was subaru able to make an AWD car 500lbs lighter than my Camaro? (hint, aluminum body panels was a big part of it). ZR1s and GT500s are neat, but pretty poor as far being practical is concerned. The "practical" segment is where Subaru puts their money. This would be like GM or Ford going all-out for the cobalt/cruze/fusion-awd-segment...but they don't really, or they don't bring those types of cars over to the US at the very least.
In any case, if you always buy american, how's that ever going to push them to be competative? If they don't have to fight for your business, there's no kicker to force them to keep innovating and improving.
