They've been making compelling vehicles but no one cares because everyone is still scarred by 70s-90s quality. Would you even test drive a Buick if you were in the market for a Toyota or Honda?
Also, there are far more American cars on the road in the Midwest compared to the urban coasts, so your observation should include geographic location.
- tdb7893 9y agoI've lived in the Midwest my whole life and the trucks here are American but the sedans (which most families have at least one of) are still Toyota or Honda
- joneholland 9y agoMy wife owned a Chevy Malibu (mid 2000s) when we met and it was complete garbage from the tired design to the terrible build quality. I’ve sat in more recent American cars and they are the same way still. Even flagship cars like the mustang and corvette have rattles and plastic heavy interiors. They haven’t shaken off the reputation because they are still crap.
- JoshGlazebrook 9y agoHonda’s and Toyota’s are full of rattling plastic as well.
- _tulpa 9y agoYeah well plastic is cheap, but I haven't driven a relatively modern toyota/honda/nissan with interior rattles (including my '98 toyota)
- s2g 9y agoToyota has awful interiors. I actually like the interior of my mustang.
- ianai 9y agoPretty sure you mean "still scared by the quality." At least, the people in my family sure have more issues than they should.
