I love Big 3 products and have owned my share, but from an investment staindpoint and not having the time or money to be fixing or repairing a daily driver all the time it's no wonder why Toyota is winning the battle. Honda and Nissan are following suit.
For example, what is your full size GM or Ford truck worth after one year of ownership VS a Toyota? Check the papers and see what the answer is.

I agree with the above, not only in terms of resale, but overall quality. After owning an average of 6 domestic brand cars each one new per year; I can say from personal experience Toyota, Honda, and Nissan are a better overall car. I hate to say it but I refuse to stick my head in the sand.
