    To Ernest Wade of Loganville, GA: MY future vehicle purchase will be an American brand assembled in the United States of America. Supporting MY area's economy and fellow workers takes precedence over the public's misguided notion that American built automobiles are of inferior quality and reliablity. In an infamous focus group by GM, they had consumers view a (GM) vehicle with foreign badging and rate it for reliabilty, looks, and liklihood to purchase. The feedback on this vehicle was extremely postive. The next day, with a new focus group, the same vehicle, this time with GM badging was rated...and did not fair well. The misguided notion that foreign built equals better made is a myth. I hope that your region of the country never has to struggle against an entire nation's apathy. This is what put the big three in the position they are in today...NOT bad decisions.
