Bought my 1st new car in 1974, Chevy Monte Carlo, and about every 3 or 4yrs bought a new car and all were US made. But my last US made was a lemon and the problems with it coupled with the poor response from Chrysler led me to try a Lexus in 2001. Kept that vehicle 5yrs and never had a problem with it. Just about every US made car I had seemed to have at least a couple of quality issues but not the Lexus. And they certainly treated me much better than Chrysler did.

Now an observation of sorts to the original post. Quite a few "foreign" manufacturers do build their cars in the US. Case in point is our current vehicle. It is a Honda CRV and was made in the Honda plant in East Liberty, Ohio. So while the profit may go to a non-American company the product was built by American workers.
