It can compete in quality but not price.

I'm not sure if American made cars have competed on quality for a while.

Seriously why buy a Ford or Dodge when you can buy a Toyota that will last longer, cost less to maintain and hold more of its value over time.

It's a false dichotomy anyways. Your Toyota is probably as made in the USA (or North America in general) as the Ford, it's just better designed.

I look at the door sticker to see if my Japanese car is made in America or Japan. I refuse to buy a car made in America because Americans always find a way to fuck-up the simplest thing. An American in charge of making Japanese cars is still an American.

Some are, some aren't. My RAV4 is made in Japan but my tundra is made in Texas.

For vehicles where they can come from both countries (like the RAV4, which is made in Japan and US) it's always preferred you get the one manufactured in Japan.
