I, for one, support the purchase of American made products first. But, when a product does not meet your expectations, or you feel the product is not made as well as another, I can understand why people would look elsewhere to make a such a large purchase.
Toyota Motor Corp. overtook Ford Motor Co. to become the No. 2 automaker by U.S. sales in 2007, using new products and relentless strategy to break Ford’s 75-year lock on the position.
Toyota sold 48,226 more cars and trucks than Ford, according to sales figures released Thursday. Toyota’s sales were up 3 percent for the year, buoyed by new products like the Toyota Tundra pickup, which saw sales jump 57 percent.
Maybe Ford should concentrate on making cars and trucks that people want to drive, or better yet, want to be seen driving. I drive a GMC, but I would drive a Ford if they actually made something I thought was more reliable than my GMC, and looked good driving down the road.
