Maybe people would buy American if they'd make cars people actually wanted to
buy.
-Small cars which didn't suck (poor interior space usage, relatively high
prices and indifferent fuel economy)
-Pricing schemes which didn't rely on mile-long lists of options, and "starts
at $16,203, as shown $49,099".
-Cars with either a decent reliability reputation (like Toyota and Honda) or
enough of a warranty behind them to allay fears of expensive repairs (like Kia
and Hyundai)
-A tendency to avoid leaving models behind design-wise. I gather the 2005
Mustang is the first complete redo since 1979, for example, and when was the
last time they really worked on the Crown Victoria/Grand Marquis (admittedly a
special case due to its high fleet-sales popularity)
