I don't think you know much about global business (and you call me not bright?). I don't have time or space to explain it to you. the real ignorance is folks buying a Chevy or Ford and thinking they are getting an American product. Your brand of protectionism would be a huge fail for us and would tank the economy.
Upshot is the U.S. automakers made their bed with inferior quality product and shoddy management and uncaring labor that let other auto makers into the market. The market responded by buying the better product and actually boosted (forced?) the domestics into designing and building a more quality product. What product I buy has nothing to do with allegiance, but I've been burned way too much by Ford/GM/Chrysler and avoid them to this day. I buy the quality product, and for me it's not the "big three" although I'd consider a Ford truck if I was buying new. Too bad if that offends you but that's the way it is.
My recommendation to the OP is a Subaru. My current one (a Forester) has 173,000 and not ONE repair and averages 30 mpg. Even the tires went 170,000 before needing replaced.
