Another thing that made me start to stay away from american brands is that american made cars have a relatively low power output to engine displacement ratio thancompared to most european and japanese brands. A mustang GT makes 300hp from 4.6L, where a G37 makes 330hp from 3.7L. A cobalt makes 145hp from a 2.2L, where as a Civic Si makes 200hp from a 2.0L. I mean yes there are a few exceptions, but most use forced induction to break the 100hp/liter mark (new ZR1, Cadillac STS-V, and Ford GT for example)
