It's more that American cars are that bad, or at least that they're that expensive. New cars keep getting more expensive as the oligarchy realizes that they can soak people on financing.
They are also getting more expensive to repair and mechanics are quitting dealerships in droves because they don't want to a) buy specialty tools to do b) repairs that are needlessly time consuming and c) happen way too frequently to e) be paid a fraction of the repair time.
So, yeah, if someone was selling cars as good as a 2000-era Honda at a 2000-era price, they'd destroy the American market.
Make it so. 2000-era Honda sounds amazing, actually. The market will bounce back, even if the current USA manufacturers die before it does. We can't tiptoe to appease thr GMCs of the world.
