That is what you are saying not me. I'm comparing vehicles of the same size
and equipment. The Camry is the best selling car because more buyers
believe that is the best car for their money, the same reason the F150 is
the best selling vehicle and the Explorer is the best selling mid size SUV
and the Escape is the best selling small SUV etc. Buyers buy Korean cars
because they don't believe it is worth paying 20% to 30% more to buy a
Toyota. By the way BMW outsells Cadillac.

You certainly are entitled to your opinion but it the opinion of a
MINORITY of American buyers, not a fact. More American are obviously of
the opinion that GM, Ford and Chrysler make vehicles that are as reliable
as those made by Toyota and Honda. Buyers vote with their wallets. They
put their money where their mouth is and they continue to buy far more
GM, Ford and Chrysler vehicles than they buy Toyota and Honda vehicles,
period. If you care to do a search you will find GM, Ford and Chrysler
continually have sold more vehicle than ALL of the import brands combined
and that IS a fact not my opinion.

OK, your argument is like saying BMW is not the highest performing
vehicle, because more people buy GM, Ford and Chrysler, and since people
vote with their money and not buy BMW, the BMW is really not a great
performer.

People do not always buy whats reliable, but what is affordable. Look at
Kia, people are buying those like crazy, even though they do not rank high
on the reliability scale.
