I can understand both sides of the argument.  But if people just want a good reliable car, I can understand choosing a Honda or Toyota (and I remember also Volkswagen producing some reliable and fuel-efficient cars too).

Also, at least these days, many American car brands have factories in other countries, so your American-branded car might have actually been built elsewhere.  And several foreign car brands have factories in the US and Canada (Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen, BMW, and perhaps others).
