Because she support american like my interpreter. She won't buy any Europe or Japan vehicles. Even she have a lot problem with her vehicles for heater core and she still stay stay with american vehicles. It make sense to me since Reba and my interpreter were soldier.

It's because people like them and me like simple car with less computers - easy to maintain and easy to fix. simple vehicle with simple function and can do everything. I don't like any of modern cars. Expensive. Unreliable. Weird looking. What you think why I don't have a car for 2+ years?

Most American vehicles made from Canada and Mexico since 80-90's and most Japan vehicles made from American since 90's. It's old news. It's all depend how design it was. Like engine without computer then if something wrong with engine or transmission without driver know then engine works so hard than normal then mechanical will fail. If with computer detect then it will shut down or alerts to driver before mechanical become damage. Most V8 cars without computer and nothing of them make more than 15MPG. Now V8 cars with computer can made almost 30MPG. The computer gave almsot 50% more of fuel efficient. There is always positive and negative. That's all I care about fuel efficient, safety, and high performance. Yes, I agreed with you, I still prefer old school manual transmission over auto transmission for long life, stable at bad weather, cheap and easy to repair. I own Subaru car for over 7 years without problem till last year. It was not bad for japan design. If you don't want headache with computers issues then stay away from most Europe vehicles.

I have wondered about that too! I had my first car buick... not too bad though. I have seen black guys driving with big silver rims. What's up with that? Why was that so important to them? I am not trying to be racist or don't want to be rude or anything like that. I am just wanting to get to know them what they like into the most. *curiosity* :/ |

I sold a '77 Caprice wagon recently to 2 white folks. To be honest, I was expecting to possibly get a black buyer when I put it up on the market.
I remember when I drove it, a black guy driving a Lexus gave me a thumb up. Yeah, I'm aware that those are popular with black folks. I see a lot of black folks driving Caprices around where I live. |

From my understanding out there, Buicks are a good alternative to Cadillacs because Cadillac has changed from just luxury cruisers to luxury high-performance. You will notice CTS, ATS, etc. They are now designed to compete against European high performance luxury cars because the average age of shoppers in the past has gotten older and not buying anymore. The sales sagged. Therefore they need freshness. And more expensive.
Buick is getting luxury itself. In my opinion, Buick is a good alternative to GM Loyalists who wanted to stay luxury, not high performance luxury. I met many designers in Detroit and they are quite various of race really. We Caucasians are in the minority in the automobile design industry! Already for the Big Three in Detroit, two out of three are Blacks (Ed Welburn, VP of Design at GM; and Ralph Gilles, VP of Design and President of Design of Chrysler Group Motorsports). I had dinner with Ralph and I can see why he was promoted several times since we had dinner. I had dinner with him along with other Chrysler designers and people from AutoWeek back in 2004. |
