Auto Bloggers Unite for American Makes

1 March 2007

We all know that American car manufacturers are struggling. We also know that the cars produced by the American makers (Ford, GM, Chrysler) have improved.

I remember when I was a kid my aunt would always buy Ford cars, and we made fun of her for it! They were ugly, and always in the shop. But today’s Fords are more reliable and attractive. The same is true for GM and Chrysler models. It isn’t a shame to be seen in them any longer, they don’t cause you as many problems, and they come (especially GM vehicles) with great warranties.

The time has come for a shift in perspective. These auto manufacturers continue to struggle because of the continuing belief that they are inferior — which is an outdated view. So, how about us auto bloggers help change things? Let’s push to show just how much these companies have improved their products. Let’s show off the styling. If we can change this perception just a bit, maybe we can help turn sales around.

Whaddya’ say? Who’s with me?
