Some people just hate the American big 3 automakers, and will jump at any (perceived) opportunity to dunk on them.
I hate them because of my experiences with them vs. the Japanese automakers. They are incompetent at everything except marketing.
they may be completely reasonable people in other aspects but they will keep telling you about how much they hated their mom's 86 Oldsmobile
I've owned nearly 30 vehicles starting with a 1960 Dodge Dart (which was great for its day) and now I drive a prior-generation Versa with a six speed, perhaps the most underrated vehicle of all time. It has unaccountably great suspension and plenty of power to do its job. Too bad about the poor paint, but it wasn't designed to last forever.
I've had about half American cars, and that old Dodge aside, they were all poop compared to the imports.
