Just as an example; How long has honda been building 30+ mpg cars that don't look like the geo metro? Besides buying a foreign car is just as much buying american anymore as buying a GM.

You obviously missed the total point of my post.
Whether or not many people notice, the US automakers have made huge strides in quality. Take a look at GM interiors within the past 2 years vs a few years prior. The quality gap between the US and foreign manufactures has been closed
significantly.
My point was that the public's perception won't change until there is a huge shake up. The general public is currently blind to the increases in quality no matter what the automakers are currently doing.
While their quality has rose, their perception is still the same.
It doesn't matter how long honda's been doing it... what I'm talking about is the fact that the GM is almost on par with them and gaining fast. GM's perception in your eyes still hasn't changed even though they've remedied the situation. If you think Buying a Honda is the same as buying GM, you really need to follow the money trail to see where it ends up.
