Up until 2005, I had never owned a "foreign" car. I now own 3; 2 Hondas and a KIA. I have no problem with the "style" or comfort of American cars. It's the "planned obsolescence," (sp?) I have a problem with. I could never get an American car past 160,000 miles. I am meticulous about keeping them serviced however, around 140,000 miles, the engines start burning oil, transmissions fall out and all the little knobs, electric motors, etc., start falling apart. My Suburban is an exception. My 2 Hondas both have over 100,000 miles and I have done absolutely nothing but regular maintenance. My KIA is relatively new but, it is a fully loaded "cut-off" SUV for under $19,000 with a 10 year, 100,000 mile warranty. It is my firm belief that Unions have absolutely destroyed the US auto industry.
