I was never a "domestic only" car buyer. I buy what I like and country of manufacture is simply immaterial to me - and to most of the car buying public, I think.
My dad had a 1959 Mercedes sedan when I was in high school. I still have the 1958 Fiat 1200 roadster that was my high school graduation gift (it was never my regular driver). I bought a '66 GTO, when it was wrecked (by the other driver) I got an Olds Cutlass, sold that for a '71 240Z, then a '77 Chevy Monza Spyder with a 305 V-8, then a '76 280Z, then an Audi and an '82 280ZX.
My wife and I have driven Audi, BMW and Datsun (not Nissan) for years. We have a '99 Chevy Blazer - one daughter has a '91 Camaro convertible, the other has a '99 Jeep.
I saw my first new Camaro on the way home from dinner tonight. I need to take a longer look, but I wasn't impressed. My memory from a 3-second view is that hood was 6 inches too high and the grille looked like a cartoon. I'll give it a longer look soon.
If the domestic auto makers want to compete, they have to do better. Mechanically, their cars are as good as the imports but their styling and marketing stinks. I'd LOVE to see Chrysler and Fiat connected - it will be better for both, and Fiat makes cars that the US needs because the domestic makers don't have the clangers to market economical cars with style.
