American cars aren't good, everybody knows that.

As an American I was a bit upset and ready to retort to your comment. I then realized none of my cars are even American and you are probably right.

Technically if you bought a Toyota pickup truck it's more American than some American named cars.

Just buy something German or Japanese

I think all my cars are Japanese except the 2003 wrangler I have… not sure who owns Jeep these days

watch out though. I only learned after I bought it that some Honda Civics are manufactured in the UK 🤢

I have 2000 Saturn with 220,000 on it. It has been amazingly solid and low TCO.

Of course, they don't make them anymore, so your point stands. They don't make them like they used to.

Teslas go above and beyond – and the Cybertruck takes it to another level past that …
