I think the domestics were hit really hard in the 80's. The Imports were built so much better. It was a good thing, because now the domestics are a lot better. It will take some time for the public to see that the these car are not going to rust apart, break down, paint fall off, and basically turn into crap after a few years. As usual, the free enterprise system works, just not always the way you would like it too.
By the way, I'm a diehard ford guy (right now I own 5) but the Wife drives a AWD turbo Subaru.
And even though we do OK, money wise, I cannot ever see us buying a new car, just way too much money.
