Yes, doesn't that explain it all?

I dunno, but from my somewhat ignorant perspective, it just seems like the domestic manufacturers aren't trying as hard as they should be-- like they really don't even care. I said it once and I'll say it again: I'm simply tired of hearing how great Hondas are and their resale values and seeing people get rid of domestics and buying more imports. I don't necessarily blame them if what they are saying about reliability is true, but if it is, the domestic manufacturers need to step it up a bit. When will the descent end? When will I hear "Hey, I bought a new Chevy Impala b/c it has one of the highest resale values and was rated in the top 5 cars in Car and Driver or Motortrend?
