The american auto industry is good for America, just not in its current incranation. It's also needed to increase competition in the field. I've driven American cars my whole life. I bought my first Toyota (hybrid) this spring.
If you like hybrids and like to buy American, you should have bought a Ford Escape Hybrid. (And they still get tax credits that are no longer available on the Prius.)
I don't need an SUV (and I live in a city), but I have ridden in them and trying to get my father to buy one :)
And I love the Prius, but needed more space for a child and gigantic dog. With no rebates left on the Prius, I'm trying to convince my parents to buy a Nissan Altima Hybrid.
