The American car makers made their own bed. For years it has sickened me how the big 3 always advertised their cars & trucks: more power than..., more torque than..., more towing capacity than...bigger engine than... They just didn't get it- we wanted better gas mileage! While Toyota and Honda worked on hybrids the big 3 did nothing until recently to address the mpg desires of buyers. Now they have to play catch up. The resale values of American cars is pathetic compared to Toyota & Honda. When I buy my next car I will look at American cars but they must have comparable mileage, reliability, and features or I'll be back to Honda/ Toyota/Hyundai.
