Today's Market of Import Vs. Domestic

[Fox Body]

I guess you guys figure I've been complaining a lot lately, but I got another issue I need to discuss (vent, i guess). A good friend of mine just bought a new car-- and guess what, it's a Honda Accord. He was telling me how the resale value and economy, durability, etc was so much better than domestic cars. Nowadays, I see more and more people buying imports. Maybe it's just me. Now, I have a lot of Ford and domestic friends and it seems that my closest friends in some way prefer domestics, specifically muscle cars of some sort, but you know how you are "acquainted with" a LOT more people than just your close friends? and those are the majority of the people I know who buy imports.

I don't have much experience with the imports vs. domestics debate cause I haven't owned any other car than a Mustang myself and I love it. But if I don't have the experience with owning new domestics or new imports, I can't realy argue against what some are saying about the imports lasting longer and resale value being higher, etc.

Can we talk about this guys? What's going on here?
