As an American I was a bit upset and ready to retort to your comment. I then realized none of my cars are even American and you are probably right.
Technically if you bought a Toyota pickup truck it's more American than some American named cars.
Just buy something German or Japanese
I think all my cars are Japanese except the 2003 wrangler I have… not sure who owns Jeep these days
Some megacorp called Stellantis as of 2021.
That's an unholy merge of:
Fiat.
watch out though. I only learned after I bought it that some Honda Civics are manufactured in the UK 🤢
I did not know that

I have 2000 Saturn with 220,000 on it. It has been amazingly solid and low TCO.
Of course, they don't make them anymore, so your point stands. They don't make them like they used to.
i miss my saturn 💔
Who cares? The pedestrians in front of those monstrosities that will be chopped to pieces by that murder box. How the hell that thing can drive legally on any street is beyond me.
Who cares? They're just pedestrians, it's not like they're honest car-driving citizens

Wasn't it the break pedal?
gas pedal – it was friction fit and would slide off and get jammed into one of the panels pressing down on the accelerator
Sounds like a break pedal to me
