Thanks for providing a solid answer. I appreciate how difficult it must be in the current economy along with the bail out news and the initial nightmare your industry “leaders” caused you when then landed in Washington.

All of that aside, now I am speaking directly to the men who own or run the American auto industry. I grew up in California the biggest car culture in the States during the 1970′s. My father bleeds red, white, and blue. I was indoctrinated to be a “Pontiac guy” back when American’s identified themselves, not by the country their car originated, but by the brand and then model.

This is where the past mistakes, of the american auto industry CEO’s, changed my course of brand loyalty. My father, disgusted with gas prices, purchased a 1972 Honda Civic aka the “tuna can” for his commute. He has never left the Honda brand having purchased their products for 37 years.

My last American car purchase was in 1977. I have driven either Honda or BMW the past 32 years.

I appreciate the quality and the true ingenuity that the American car industry is showing us today. I appreciate the style, the power, and the true coolness of the return to retro the industry is bringing forward.

Unfortunately it’s difficult to change my perception of flawless trouble free operation coupled with performance and longevity that my Japanese and German products have provided me.

I truly understand your challenges and I am rooting for you to survive and thrive. But at age 49, it will take more than a JD Powers report to change my purchasing habits.

The toughest thing of all for me is the fact that I would have never changed brand loyalty from American to anything else–if the previous regime(s) had cared, had engaged, and had made products that took care of me.

One day I might buy an American muscle car again but with the economy as it stands now my budget and buying tendencies are in “lean and mean” mode.
