Wow, you are more die-hard than me. If a certain model does what I want, that's what I am likely to buy.

For example, more "US" trucks are being made in Mexico, especially by GM. If, say, you needed a fullsize truck, but they were all made in MX, would you settle for a Colorado or something that doesn't really do what you need?

This is just an example, I'm pretty sure they still have some trucks made here.

I am glad there is still a large selection of used quality GM cars on the market. And Ford is churning out some decent stuff. I won't buy any post-June 1 2009 GM cars. I suspect as time goes on this will get much harder to do though. We need to replace our Regal at some point, it's got 215,000+ miles and it's not gonna keep going forever...
