Why buy an American made vehicles you ask? I’ll tell you why because buying American made vehicles creates American made jobs. Everyone knows that American made vehicle’s make a distinctive sound. Take for instance the Ford mustang and the Chevy corvette. Who doesn’t like the sound of these vehicles or design? A few things I will discuss about American made manufactures will be the quality they put forth in designing these vehicles, the job security it helps with in America and how American manufactures have now stepped up to the plate with their new innovated designs for the auto industry. Let’s take it a step further J.D. Power & Associates recently released their results of the "2012 dependability survey". This survey ranked 37 different automakers based upon how many complaints Vehicle owners reported. To no surprise the survey showed that two of the top four ranking vehicles were held by luxury car makers Lexus, Porsche you can’t argue that. But right behind them followed two American car makers Lincoln and Cadillac that’s 2 out of 4 for America. Slide 2
Here is a graph on how America made Quality vehicles compared to the foreign vehicle makers. Look people it speaks for itself here are the true facts.

J.D. Power and Associates study of the quality of American made vehicles shows that American made vehicles have been produced with better quality since the 1999 study. Both foreign and domestic car makers have steadily declined in their quality but still holding strong Domestics are still on top.
Slide 3
A U.S. News report showed that Ford and GM have increased their customer satisfaction over the past five years and have been rated the highest of all vehicle manufactures in the past two years in a row. With Ford at 87% and GM at 84.5% these studies don’t lie they come from real customers and real vehicle owners.
American’s can and do build quality and with quality you get a product that last longer and is more dependable.

    Ford and Chevy are as American as apple pie. However, as any car fanatic knows. They are as big of rivals as the North and the South used to be. Two rival models of Ford and Chevy, in particular, is the Ford Mustang Shelby GT and the Chevy ZL1 Camaro. The Chevy Camaro and Ford Mustang are quintessential American pony cars and as such, continue to fight the war over which sport utility vehicle is the best in performance. I recently became interested in cars and the whole racing aspects of them because my best friend races once in a while. He is extremely knowledgeable and interested in cars and can tell which car is the best. Becoming a huge car fanatic like him, I have to “pick a side” and decide which car I would go with the Mustang or the Camaro. The two features that I would take in to consideration in deciding which car is better than the other one is the performance that it has to offer and the style that it resembles.…

    Although the United States has one of the largest automotive markets in the world and is home to 13 auto manufacturers. I am very passionate towards General Motors (GM). General “Motors was founded by William “Billy” Durant on September 16, 1908. Durant had become a leading manufacturer of horse-drawn vehicles in Flint, MI before making his foray into the automobile industry. At its inception GM held only the Buick Motor Company, but in a matter of years would acquire more than 20 companies including Oldsmobile, Cadillac, and Oakland, today known as Pontiac”, (GM, 2014) “General Motors has played a pivotal role in the global auto industry for more than 100 years. From the first Buick horseless carriages to technological marvels like the Chevrolet Volt, our products and innovations have always excelled at putting the world on wheels” (GM, 2014). I think one of the reasons I am partial to GM is that my family has always owned them. I can remember my father telling me, “Son there’s nothing like American steel and there certainly isn’t anything better than an American made automotive.” On certain occasions my father would take me to the dealership and seeing how the Service staff provided high level of prestige service just because he owned a 1972 GMC Sierra 1500. Like days of old, GMC is the flagship series line of GM vehicles, a symbol that a person had money and is…

    This article explains the source of Toyota’s successful “insatiable competitiveness that would seem un-American were it not for all the Americans making it happen.” What drives Toyota is “the presumption of imperfection and a distinctly American refusal to accept it.” Toyota is growing while other competitive companies like “Ford” and “GM” are struggling. Some of them terminated their business, while Toyota is opening new factories, at lower labor costs. There are many reasons for their success.…

    Detroit auto sales plummeted an average of 36% between Ford and Dodge in the month of July 2010 alone. The foreign competition rapidly made up the difference with automakers such as Toyota improving sales with an 11.7% increase in sales. This significant increase moves them into the number two position, surpassing Ford Motor Company for the first time ever (Businessweek). Foreign engineered vehicles are becoming superior to those with a domestic origin. Initially, these cars have an increase in cost compared to domestic vehicles, but are more cost effective in the long run. Generally, foreign engineered vehicles contain better features than the domestic competition. In addition, imported vehicles are economically friendly to both the Canadian and American auto sectors; foreign makes and models attract buyers from foreign cultures in North America by boosting the economy. Furthermore, foreign vehicles are known to retain their value and reliability better than domestic vehicles. Inevitably, imported cars continue to dominate the North American auto sales economy, and it has become undeniable that foreign engineering is the best “bang for your buck”.…

    In tough times and good times, you will see Toyota Motor Corp. at the top of the list for automobile manufactures around the World. During the collapse of the United States mortgage industry many businesses and economies around the World started failing and even became bankrupt and needed bailouts to survive. Toyota stayed on par with the big three auto manufactures in the United States without needing help from our federal government like the rest of them did. “Even after becoming the first auto company to make more than 10 million cars in a single year, Toyota Motor Corp. said Tuesday that it would refrain from building any new plants for at least two more years. Nobuyori Kodaira, executive vice president of Toyota, said that the company planned to heed the lessons it learned during the global financial crisis that began in 2007, when it struggled for several years with overcapacity before demand recovered (Pfanner 2014)”. As a result of an economic recession, Toyota’s sales were down in 2008, but the Toyota brand outsold Chevrolet to become the number one selling automotive brand in America, and Camry retained its crown as the number one selling car in the nation for the eleventh time in twelve years.…

    One of the major Causes of US automotive manufacturer importing automotive materials from foreign manufacturers is the comparative advantage of low prices. The company needs to outsource most of its materials overseas in order to lower cost of production. Most of the automotive manufacturers in various parts of the world such as China, Japan, and Korea sell their products at a lower price. The three countries are key producers of automotive materials. In this case, they sell them at a subsidized cost. Comparative advantage of low priced material is thus one of the major causes that the company should choose in getting its materials from foreign manufacturers (Scott & Wething, 2012). This advantage means that the company will create cheaper production cost. For the form to remain competitive in the market, it has to reduce its cost of production through getting cheap material and rebranding them to make quality…

    The efficient production capabilities Japanese auto manufacturers developed during the eighties quickly allowed them to establish a low cost competitive advantage over other passenger cars of similar class. In comparison to the American automobiles of similar class, the Japanese cars were also better in terms of quality. High fuel prices also played favorably for the Japanese automobiles, as the cars had better fuel efficiency and were generally smaller in size than the American automobiles.…
