I hear it all the time: buy American. American this, American that. We have xxx.
But after quite possibly thirty years of that strategy FAILING, why do American automakers and their ilk still try and sell cars based on rhetoric, not the car itself?
Where I am coming from with this is that yesterday I was looking at some used car lot, checking prices, and after talking with a sales person for not a minute he said "well you should buy American." No no, nothing about the car, nothing about me, the person forking over $20,000 for a drive way decoration that moves every now and then.
Looking around, I again see more of it online. Overpaid UAW people that go around dissing Japanese and German cars as "Jap Junk" and such. But even when I go to Japanese websites, I almost never see workers from there, even in companies with problems, doing the same diss-work. No, they are more interested in the cars than the rhetoric.
Why are American automakers and co not more like that?
