This. You're not going to win or convince these people. They love their NASCAR, PBR and running their 'stangs and 'maro's in a straight line. Throw in some guns and you just summed up their whole life. Quality isn't exactly a concern here.
Every car will have it's problems and faults, there is no such thing as a perfect car. But for the most part American cars are just not designed as well as a foreign car. Quickly put together for the cheapest material. They are the McDonald's of the car industry.
It is actually. The lack of attention to detail, cutting corners and making shit products is the problem.
To quote Clarkson, "It was rubbish when it was new, it was built by idiots, and it’s rubbish now."
Yup. I had a rental new Camaro in Vegas, the pleather started peeling off the steering wheel, front bumper moves about 3 inches when you gently push on it.
There are quite a few for me.
OG Mini just to name one (this one is even in British racing green)
