Some Good, Some Bad, But None In-between

    Is it just me or are American cars very hit-or-miss? Some American cars have done extraordinarily well, such as the Ford Mustang, the Chevrolet Suburban/ Cadillac Escalade/ GMC Yukon, the Jeep Grand Cherokee, or the Chevrolet Corvette. But some have been big flops, such as the Chrysler Crossfire, the Pontiac Aztec (which is basically the most hideous car of all time), or the entire Mercury and Saturn brands. I don't know why this is, because compared to Japanese and German cars, which are both usually pretty well made, American cars can be really great sometimes, but can also be really terrible. And for some strange reason, they never seem to be so-so, they're either really good or really bad. They're never just okay. For example, the new Corvette is doing extremely well, but the Cadillac XTS hasn't been able to show up its competition. So why is this? Is it because some days the staff is working harder than usual? Is it because sometimes the companies have a loss for inspiration? I don't know why, but for some reason, these cars don't have consistent quality, unlike cars like Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Toyota, or Mazda, which usually are pretty good. I know some U.S. citizens want to buy "American" but in reality, most American cars are built in Mexico, such as the Ford Fiesta. So if you do buy American, you aren't buying a car that was designed, created, manufactured, and sold in the U.S..
