Nope. Honda Civic. Bought it about 7 months ago. I looked at the equivalent vehicle from Ford and was unimpressed, particularly by the quality. The last Ford I was driving...nearly died in the middle of Mexico. Wound up limping back across the border. I did drive a GM vehicle in high school, while my dad had a Mercury, and I was unimpressed by both.
I would be happy to own or drive an American car if the American car industry tried to build the kind of car I wanted; high quality, not going to break on me, high mpg, small, nimble, useful. I don't want an SUV, I don't want something giant, I don't want a pickup truck, and therefore I don't see a good reason to buy what the U.S. car companies are building.
Then again, I think my vehicle probably has about as high a %age of American-made parts as a standard Ford these days.
well, if Ford's union workers can't build a decent car i guess you can't blame Ford for cutting those jobs.
