Face it, American cars are garbage. The only thing we seem to get right are full sized trucks.

Valid point. But also at one point in time it cost less to have the vehicles produced by less expensive foreign labor while still paying for Americans to not work.
Not to mention the same Asian vehicles are being assembled in the US quite successfully in open shops.
US auto manufacturers had this country by the short hairs for ever if they just did their jobs. During the years that we fell behind. Design was an issue but fit and finish were major problems as well.
