I recently (say 4 months ago) bought a brand new Chrysler vehicle. A week ago I got a customer satisfaction survey.
From the survey I got pretty strong impression that the important thing is not the value of the car, not it's quality, but the fact that the car is made in North America and it's made by "THE CHRYSLER". I bought a piece of American Automotive industry's history and I should be happy with that.
- bbuffone 17y agoAs a person that only buys American made cars. The "Made in America" reliance had allowed the industry to escape improving the quality of their products for some time. Fortunately for the automakers the NASCAR viewership will always buy American as most drive American trucks which are superior over the competition. The issue is now even though the quality has improved, it is hard to get the higher paid individual and foreign born consumers (which their are lots) to buy a US cars.
- dbul 17y agoWhy do you only buy American cars? Do you only buy clothes made in America, too?
- bbuffone 17y agoNot even sure where my clothes are made. Probably not in America. There are several reasons for buying American: 1.) For the price point I buy at (low to middle < 30k) the American cars have the same quality as I can get in a foreign car. 2.) Given equal price and quality, keeping the money in the US keeps more Americans working. There are lots of foreign products and services where the price to value ratio isn't even and for those purchases I am more than happy to buy from anywhere. It is kind of why I typically support local businesses in my town rather than go with large franchises if the price/value relationship is equal.
