We tried to do that and you know what we got? Shit. That's right, American manufacturers (of all stripes) took advantage of that patriotism and felt that they did not need to be competitive. Meanwhile, countries like Korea were striving for perfection and winning market share.
I have no interest in ever buying a Hyundai, but go look at the new Sonata and more specifically the gaps in the body lines. It's shockingly good and better than
ANY GM car on the market. I am a GM fan but I'm a realist as well - American companies must be competitive if they expect to gain market share again. Relying on Patriotism is old school and doesn't work.
