And there you go. I have owned 7 Fords and haven't had any issues. I wouldn't touch a Chrysler made product with a 10-foot pole. I feel about the same with GM, but they are definitely way ahead of Chrysler. All that said, I'd buy a Toyota, Honda, Subaru, or Hyundai before any of the aforementioned.

I did have to buy a can opener for work a couple weeks ago and, since it was company money, I bought the only one at Publix made in the USA. It was $7.99 vs. roughly $3.99 for three other imported brands. Only difference in the USA-made one is that it was definitely heavier, all-metal, with a ridiculous amount of "MADE IN THE USA" on the package (but nothing to really tell me why it was better).

So, it all depends.

I cook every day so I had to check out my favorite can opener.

It's a Swing-Away. It cost 6 bucks and it's made in the USA!

The American auto companies have greatly improved their products. I currently drive a `14 Ford F-150 and couldn't be happier, although I have 2 small electrical glitches that will be fixed under warranty. A window motor that acts up, and the rear defroster doesn't work. I guarantee both are foreign made electrical parts.
