-because of labor unions. the only thing American car companies know how to build right are pickup trucks, everything else is sub-par and severely outdated. just look at the new Chevy Cruze, it needs a turbocharged 1.6 four-banger just to make 150hp. i have a 15 year-old Honda with the same displacement, it makes the same power through natural aspiration. why the hell does GM waste so much of our money(yes, our money) developing technology that's pure horseshit? why can't they build a small car that can go up to 300,000 miles without needing a replacement engine or transmission? i wish i knew, but i don't. and WHY CAN'T AMERICAN CAR COMPANIES BUILD A CAR WITH PROPER REAR INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION!?!?!?!?!
basically, if it's American and doesn't have a V8...it's a piece of sh*t. they don't know how to build anything else.
EDIT: Americans need to understand what a car is really capable of and not what Detroit tells them. most "American" cars aren't even built in this country, most don't even use American parts. brand loyalty and nationalism is depriving people in this country from experiencing genuinely better cars.
@Emily Martinez: you really think 18-24 mpg is good? seriously, that's your idea of good mpg? i have a diesel VW that's about 30 years old, it gets about 50mpg(if you're skeptical, try doing some research).because of labor unions. the only thing American car companies know how to build right are pickup trucks, everything else is sub-par and severely outdated. just look at the new Chevy Cruze, it needs a turbocharged 1.6 four-banger just to make 150hp. i have a 15 year-old Honda with the same displacement, it makes the same power through natural aspiration. why the hell does GM waste so much of our money(yes, our money) developing technology that's pure horseshit? why can't they build a small car that can go up to 300,000 miles without needing a replacement engine or transmission? i wish i knew, but i don't. and WHY CAN'T AMERICAN CAR COMPANIES BUILD A CAR WITH PROPER REAR INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION!?!?!?!?!

Chevys get 18-24 mpg.
The unsafe/dangerous topic I understand but I feel like that applies to Toyota/Lexus.
The Audi R8 gets bad gas mileage, is a fast car (i.e. could be dangerous in the wrong hands) and while probably not unreliable, is probably difficult to get parts for.
I get your question, but I feel like its a bit of a generalized statement.
It's pretty clear you no nothing about cars. All my cars and trucks have been american and Ive had them up to 300k when I sold them. my camaro has 145k and the only thing i had to replace was the air pump. And fuel inefficient? Yeah right. The chevy cruze out preforms every import. And yes hondas when it comes to being fuel efficient. And just a FYI. The body of american cars is built much better. Every import I owned has rust along the wheel wells and doors.
Why are people that demean American cars so uninformed about their subject material?
While what you state may have been true 35-40 years ago (and admitted by American car makers) it no longer holds true today.
You are into overgeneralization, because of that your question is flawed and also shows you don't know much about cars to begin with.
