I hate to see and hear the negative about domestics as well, but it's pretty undeniable the American mfgrs did it to themselves...at a time when the imports were shipping in better quality than the general public was accustomed to, the quality of domestics was on a pretty noticeable decline...the one exception was trucks...
I have a good friend who's father bought a Nissan/Chrysler dealer in the early 80s...as they were losing money selling/maintaining Chryslers, he dropped the Chryslers like a hot rock in '86...I'd love to have a recent Mustang or an early one, but there were years I wouldn't have thought of buying one...about the only domestic holding up a good standard was Buick that I remember...that's just my cut at it...
