- One thing that gets me is, if American car companies can build
- cars of comperable quality to imports(and I prefer European to
- Japanese and Japanese to American) why does Saturn have to make
- such a big deal about being an American car company that is building
- cars that are on par with the Japanese quality wise?
-
- For me, what it boils down to is, if I'm paying for a car I'm going to
- buy the best car for my money. I don't give a damn where it's built as
- long as it's built well. And right now, it seems to me that while the
- quality of American cars is improving it's got miles to go.
