Trucks aren't cars. I do agree that the Big 3 make a very good truck.

Mini is close to dead last in trade-in reliability (404.

I do think that the best cars out there are "foreign". Not all foreign cars are good, but some are very good. Case in point, I own an Audi A6 that replaced a Chevrolet Impala. The Audi is much easier to service, more reliable, and cheaper to run. It's what a modern Chrysler or Cadillac should have been, but isn't.

I do look at Toyota as an American company, too. Just ask the workers at the plants....
