The "real" reason GM went bankrupt (my theory)

If what you posted hinted on differences in vehicle quality depending on where they're assembled, that hardly makes any difference anymore, since the era of shoddy Mexican-built Volkswagen Rabbits is long behind us and, since then, automation has taken over tasks once performed by slip-shod assembly line workers. So, now it hardly makes any difference if an employee shows up for work just 3 hours after he got home from partying all night, since his job is, in any case, mostly limited to logistical tasks.
The argument that a German beer tastes different than the same brand being brewed in Canada or an Australian Foster's beer doesen't taste the same when brewed in Britain hardly applies to the automotive industry anymore

 

I am a Ford guy. I have been as long as I can remember. I am also a "brand loyalty" guy. Both of these things are a result of the way my Dad was. This doesn't mean that I turn a blind eye when it comes to shortcomings or that I believe they (my brand of choice) can do no wrong. But I do feel that it's not unlike sticking with my favorite baseball team. There are going to be times when I love them. There are also going to be times when I am embarrassed to be associated with them. But in the end I'm not going to just give up on them and move on, because I know that the grass isn't any greener on the other side of the fence.
You have to be willing to take the good with the bad and hope that at the end of the day the good far outweighs the bad. It would take something pretty monumental for me to swear off a brand for good.
