Kind of rare to get a "do not buy" from Consumer Reports.

http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-l … ?track=rss

"At a time when Toyota Motor Corp. is trying to regain consumer confidence following a series of large recalls and federal probes into safety defects, Consumer Reports on Tuesday warned shoppers not to purchase one of the company's upscale Lexus models because of a rollover risk."

"Buy American" rheotic will not work for me. If U.S. companies outsource jobs to other countries, then I have no loyalty or empathetic to them.
Besides, the total cost of ownership is lower on my japanese car* than on my american counter-part so cry me a river GM

Toyota's new "Were sorry about the potentially lethal suspension and brake problems that we didn't tell you about so we could fix it because we have your best interests in mind (And so you wouldn't sue us)" ad campaign is more than enough to convince me to buy American.

Why does every car produced for the American market seem to be shit? Ford make great cars in Europe; wank in the US. Toyota make great cars everywhere else in the world, wank in the US. I mean, how fucking shit does that Lexus look?

everytime you talk to an american about small efficient cars they will tell you that they don't want to die getting hit by an SUV or something, so they buy an SUV

the market creates itself

Ford's latest cars in the US are actually really good. The Ford Fusion has received many awards. The Ford Flex has great crash ratings. All the "lawl Amerikkkan cars suck" stuff is kind of in the past... I mean I don't know about GM and Chrysler cars, but Ford's latest offerings have been very good.

The problem I have with people saying "buy American" in regards to cars is that half the time these cars are built in Mexico.

but mine's a corolla - with the amount of freeway miles, it didn't make sense to get a hybrid. hybrid's work better in stop and go traffic, the corolla is getting me nearly 40 mpg's on the highway.

besides, wtf is a hilux? isn't that a vacuum cleaner? "nothing sux like a hilux" amirite?

And.. loads of "foreign" cars are manufactured here, in the states. .. including some Toyota's.
