I've heard good things about the Ford Focus. GM and Chrysler are suspicious just because they had to nationalize them to keep them from going bankrupt, and the Ford Explorer went to shit by 2008 or so, so for me, it's not a bias I'm especially interested in revisiting, especially with the quality of the VW's and Audis I've driven.
There are a large number of very high quality domestic models, easily rivaling any from anywhere. Again, saying domestic was completely unnecessary bigotry that added zero value to the comment. Especially odd that you then use VW and Audi as the comparator, given that both of those are historically, and recently, lower quality brands -- the incident rate for defects is much higher than average (though note that one survey put them on top by noting that sure the defect rate is high, but the owners are happy anyways so that equals quality anyways).
If I'm renting a car, the defect rate isn't really my problem anyway. What is my problem is the driving experience, which is where VW and Audi shine.
Anyway, I'm curious why you're getting all worked up and accusing me of "bigotry" because I don't like domestic cars. What are you, some kind of GM publicist?
Why do you think that I'm "getting worked up"? Slandering the entirety of "domestic" vehicles -- and doing so because you think you have an audience that will cheer along -- is a perfect demonstration of bigotry...at least vehicle maker bigotry. I know it is wrong and misinformed so I point that out, which is hardly getting worked up.
Probably because instead of just posting one comment that said "actually there are some pretty good domestic cars now, like A, B, and C", you've made repeated comments using emotionally charged words like "slander" and "bigotry", with a general tone that implies that you're personally offended by my dislike of domestic cars.
