Re: best american cars?
American brands don't build good cars, they build cool/pwnage cars. Can't choose one, though Chevy just sounds right somehow.

Re: best american cars?
Every American manufactutrer makes a car that I like. So I dont have a favorite, but top picks go to:
Dodge - Charger SRT8 or even the Charger R/T Daytona
Chevy - Corvette Z06
Ford - Mustang GT500
Jeep - Because it's Jeep

Re: best american cars?
Define "American" cars. Are you referring to the "Big 3", or American content? There are many "foreign' labeled vehicles that are now produced on American soil like Toyota, and Hyundai, whereas many "American" cars are made in Canada or Mexico.

Re: best american cars?
Chevy probably builds the best even though they have a "3rd place" feel/look to them. Chevy and Pontiac are my two domestic brands that i would only consider purchasing.

Re: best american cars?
The only good American made cars usually have a V8 driving the back wheels and even then some of them can be questionable.

Re: best american cars?
I like Chrysler and Jeep mainly. Then Dodge makes some nice models. For Chevy, there'd be only the Corvette. And the Cadillacs have nice shapes, even if the rest is not at the level of the competitors. For the rest.....
The big problem in general, is that American cars have a build quality very low. Same thing for the handling which is low too. Then a make like Chevrolet which sales Corean cars today (and only these cars in Europe), doesn't mean any more something to me.
Then, there are always some exceptions.

Re: best american cars?
"Best" U.S. car isn't a car. It's a light truck or SUV labeled Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, or Escalade. They're what GM does better than anybody else.

Re: best american cars?
LOL GM SUV's are crap. The pickups are OK, decent workhorses.
The Escalade/Yukon/Tahoe are overpriced and cheaply made soccer-mom mobiles that can't get anywhere near an X5/M Class/RX/Cayenne/Range Rover on the road and neither a Range Rover/Cayenne/Touareg off the road.
The Suburban is in the same boat, but at least it offers you a bit of metal for money.
They do not do SUV's better than anybody else though.

Re: best american cars?
The only GM I would buy is the Corvette.
