When Japan or the US builds a car like an M series BMW, I'll be happy to try it. I'm not opposed, I just haven't found anything I like better. But yes, that's why a warranty is a must.
I do like a US built truck though. Had a Mazda, a Nissan Frontier, and a Titan. They were fine. Bought my first GMC in 2014 and haven't looked back. I get half again better gas mileage with half again more HP. Not sure how that works, but that Titan wasn't anywhere near my GMC in virtually every measurement. Nissan may be better now, but I haven't had any reason to check.
As for working, I like working. I will work as long as I am physically and mentally able. I've seen too many people retire...then rust...then die. Gonna fight that.
