Both the New York Times and The Economist have had some interesting articles about the current state of American car companies. The Times article paints a bleak picture and even mentions that both Ford and GM may not be around in the near future. The article from the Economist discusses the strategies of Daimler-Chysler and GM for trying to resucitate their global brands.
Last year, I bought a Subaru Outback. I suppose I should have thought about supporting the United States more, but I was drawn to Subaru for two reasons: high quality (meaning safety and a low rate of break downs) and high re-sale value.
When I was doing research on cars at sites like Kelly Blue Book and Edmunds, it seemed to me that not many US cars had these key factors included. What I would like to know is what kind of car(s) do you drive? Why did you choose that type of car? If you were going to buy a car today or in the near future, which type would you purchase and why?
Let us know.
