Re: Consider buying American!

An interesting book about U.S. vs. Japanese car makers is "The 
Reckoning" by David Halberstam. It compares Nissan and Ford but is 
relevant to the others as well. One of the main themes is that U.S. car 
makers are run mostly by bean counters looking at the short term bottom 
line whereas Japanese companies are run by engineers and manufacturing 
people who are truly 'car people' and more concerned with a quality 
product. It was written in the mid 80's but is still applicable today. 
An interesting read...
