The new Lincoln is the real first American car since that Delta 88.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the MKX made in Canada?

I have not bought a GM product since the disaster of the new 1981 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Brougham that I purchased way back then. It was a diesel that was popular at the time. What I didn't know (young at the time just getting into Real Estate)...is that GM converted a gas engine to diesel. The high compression of the diesel was too much for the converted gas engine.

At 48,000 miles, the engine was pretty much shot (drinking and burning oil). I vowed never to by another GM product. I feel my personal crusade of boycotting GM put Oldsmobile out of business! LOL! (I can wish).

I didn't buy an American made car for at least 30 yrs. Bought a couple of Jeeps that were owned by Mercedes-Benz at the time. Otherwise, I bought several Japanese cars, a Peugeot, a couple of Mercedes cars and a couple of Land Rover's.

Personally, my GMC Terrain has been a perfect little car (and toad). 100K mils and not a single problem. My first GM vehicle since 1966 (Chevy II SS 327/350).

I have no issues with their vehicles, just refuse to support the people that make them.

I don't mind buying American at all, but Gov Motors Corp would not be on my list!

Why not?

Political, and I'll never forgive them. No bow ties here in my garage, ever. If my relatives drive them, I make them park in the street off my property.

Here is a link to the Ford towing guide. After choosing a model year you can scroll down and find the four wheel down section.

Maybe he knows something that you don't about them. And some people were questioning the Jeep dependability?
