I know what you meant..I am just being a bit silly here..just for arguement's sake.
Actually I like the look and feel of large cars, but HATE parking them!! I call them landboats. That's why I drive what I do(ok the FJ is a larger car but the turning radius is awesome!!) and as far as American cars being reliable...they aren't. I was very serious about them being built to break down. There have been many articles on that...sadly enough. Same with the seatbelt issue. Ford KNEW that putting seatbelts in would save lives, but it cost more to redesign the car and facilities, than it would to pay off lawsuits for wrongful deaths, so they opted for the cheapest route..until the government stepped in. Same with the gas tank design on some cars...really a shame what greed will do to some people.
With the F150...it wouldn't surprise me to see that number NOT reduce, even with the recession...for the most part, the people who use those trucks have a need for the power for their work or livelihood. I would venture a guess that every other truck is purchased in either Texas or Louisana...
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
