Come on people, be nice, driving a domestic car is not the end of the world. Those companies need to stay alive. One in four people in the US are employed in businesses related to the auto industry. I gotta believe they will make it out of the other side of this.

I my Jeep.

How about a Chinese knockoff? Everything is fair game with them.

Your numbers are a little high, I believe it's 1 out of 14, but put them all out of work and the impact is major.

I must say I still love my Ford F150 truck - it's my daily transportation.

lainey the context was "things that are worse to drive than a mercedes"

I stand by my observation.
MY 98 ML320 with 160K on the clock still drives and handles better than almost anything coming out of detroit today.
