I disagree. I have owned two small cars made by Detroit. Neither were "crap".
One lasted over 300,000 miles.
The other I still drive 21 years later.
"American cars are junk" is a myth that was true in the 70s, but has no relevance to latter-day cars. (If you want junk, buy a European car like Volkswagen. If you enjoy lots of recalls, that's the car for you.) I won't say American cars are as good as Japanese, but it's pretty **** close. (Especially since japanese quality has gone downhill in recent years.)
