BUY AMERICAN!!!!!! Sorry, Keith.. I totally disagree.
Our last 2 cars we owned were American. A 2005 Thunderbird we just sold after 7 years with 3,400 miles and a leased 2011 Lincoln MKS.

IMO American brand cars depreciate faster than say Lexus, Infiniti, Honda, Toyota etc.

We have always lost more money on GM/ Ford vehicles.

I was born, raised and lived in Michigan all my life (still do in the summer) and the only CRAP cars I had were GM's in the 1980's through 1990's.

I am considering LEASING an American brand but would never BUY one.
