Don't get me started on domestics

I agree with your comments on Japanese interiors being better than domestics, however, that's almost an unfair comparison because domestic cars are even in the same ball-park (or sport) as other car mfgs.
The pitiful state of the American car industry infuriates me. I would love to buy American. In fact, I would glady buy a slightly less inferior American car over a foreign brand, but SOOOO many American cars are unreliable pieces of crap. The American car company has simply become a Truck/SUV company. From time to time they'll make a decent performance car, but then it will become unreliable after a few years.
Partly I fault the engineers and program managers but eventually the fault has to lie on the shoulders of management. Toyota is about to roll over the American (and maybe the European) car company with their hybrid vehicles which are now being mass-produced on a scale, American car companies won't be able to reach for years. The American car companies claim it's a bad technology and the future is hyrdogen cars. Maybe, but in the 20 years between then and now, who the hell will buy a 25 mpg American sedan when the Camry will be hitting 50 mpg with MORE power. Stupid, stupid management. It angers me, because in the end the people who will suffer most will be the auto workers.
