Will you purchase, or for that matter would you ever again purchase a U.S. made car? Please give your reason for or against.

I will not purchase a GM car. Regardless of where it's built, they all look like rolling turds on wheels.
Besides, we already gave GM a boat load of money because they made stupid business decisions. I have no interest in giving them more, regardless of the method or reason. And don't even get me started with the fact the the union now owns part of GM. Bad union. Bad company.
Since foreign-owned companies now have plants in this country, I will consider buying from them, but that fool Toyoda or Toyada (whatever) is an iffy character. He reeks of old GM and Ford.

Define U.S. made car. GM, Ford and Chrysler all have plants in Mexico where they built cars. On the other hand, Honda and Toyota have plants in the US. If you're talking about brands like Ford or GM vs. Toyota or Honda, then sure, I'd buy a product from Ford or GM. Why not? Quality of their cars is as good as many competitors. For me, it comes down to price, who can offer me the best price for the car I want.

If you mean from a company based in the US, then a Ford would be a possibility. Never a GM or Chrysler.
However, like already stated, my Toyota Tacoma was made in California.
GM and Chrysler both took bailout money and both are too far in bed with the unions...

I will never buy a genital motor vehicle again! I realized pretty soon that i had bought junk! hence the name genital motors. <- cheap low grade parts on a "luxury" vehicle! They change the outside and badge it with "Cadillac" But your still driving a low grade chevy in disguised.
Fords a maybe if it comes to diesels trucks. Dodges a definatlly for diesel/gas trucks or rear wheel drive v8 muscle. Ill buy a truck/suv made in the usa,and a old school muscle car/v8 built in the usa, but a entery level vehicle is better built else were.

Maybe an Esclade, Navigator, Viper, or Covette. Otherwise unless I could get a really good deal on a Lincoln, Yukon XL Denali, or Camaro I would not.

I would never buy a foreign car. I think U.S. made cars used to be built like crap but now I think all of them (crysler, ford, GM) have made a complete turn around. I think ford has made the biggest turnaround.

Yes, I own one now and I would have no problem buying another onein the future.
There is nothing at all wrong with American cars.
