Well I drive as close to American as possible... I have a Ford Pickup and a Ford Fusion and both of them are alot less trouble than my friends that drive that Jap BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH... I have 3 friends with Honda Accords 2006 and newer... I get better gas mileage, better service and mine has never been in the shop... they cannot say that... I also have a friend with a 2011 Camry... what a piece of BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH... I have a friend with a toyota tundra... he is always borrowing my ford to do work with because his wonderful Tundra is in the shop... so... I will stay with my ford...
Just because they are #1 doesn't mean they are good cars... It does mean they have a great marketing plan... Ford is #2 and is quickly closing in on Toyota... Ford Trucks have been #1 for years and rightfully so...
