I dunno.. I still have a 55 Chevy truck sitting in my warehouse. I don't see too many 55 Toyota's or Nissans running around.

The point being the American companies used to make the best and longest lasting cars around. It was in the 70's through the 90's that they turned to shit. The reality is, GM actually turned it's self around with their products in the last 8 years.

The new corvettes are actually pretty nice and well built cars.. I'm not a redneck but the new camaros are pretty damn nice as well and have been getting very good reviews. Chevy/GMC full size trucks are much better than anything Toyota makes. I own a 4 door Toyota Tacoma with every option under the sun. My dad has a full size Chevy 4 door truck and it rides so much better and is much quieter and comfortable. His full size Chevy truck with a V8 actually gets the same gas mileage as my mid size Toyota Tacoma.

The problem is that GM was actually turning it's self around but the economy has actually killed it for them. When the economy is bad, it's hard to rebuild your reputation. So GM is battling two problems it's former reputation and the economy. I've actually been thinking about trading in my Tacoma for a full size Chevy truck. I have no doubght that GM is making a better truck at this point.
