American cars lack good warranties and have multiple quality control issues, lets not get onto the whole Toyota thing, but imported cars in general are far more reliable. Now if i was going to get a truck, just out of principle, it would be a ford or a chevy.

1994 Saturn SL2 sedan
1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme
1992 Ford Tempo
1980 Chevy Malibu
1978 Ford Thunderbird
1984 Ford Ranger

Currently I have:
2005 Honda Civic LX Sedan
2006 Honda VTX 1300C motorcycle
2009 Nissan 370z 7AT Touring w/ Sport (everything except Nav)
2010 Nissan Frontier SE-V6 4x4

Actually, American cars tend to have very good warranties (5yr / 100K), just they tend to lack the same level of quality-feel to them.

Toyota isn't American, and pre-recall, I'd not get a Toyota. They cost too much by comparison. Like they used their name brand to justify up-charging $1000-$5000 per model.

Honda does that a little, Nissan seems to be the most reasonably priced for the big-3 from Japan.

I've always been a big Ford fanboy and always drove American up to this point.

1. 97' Ford Mustang- which I just recently sold
2. 87' Camaro IROC-Z
3. 05' Ford F250 Harley edt.
4. 09' 370Z Touring/Sport

Alot of my friends busted my chops when I got the Z because it wasn't an American V8
