I don't know what the hell is doing this Ford Flex in the list of the best American cars, there are many other cars too much better than this crappy vehicle,but well."When girls go wild, they show their tits. When women go wild, they kill men and drown their kids in a tub." ;D

So, these are the best American cars according to or in respect to what? Why the Ford Flex is one of the best American cars? I don't understand, that freaking SUV is pathetic, for some reason it isn't very common to see it out here on the streets. I think these are the most efficiency American cars, I know other American cars too much better than many of these.

Hi everyone, I'm changing my car soon and now I'm trying to find out what is the best American, that's my only request, my budget is not more than $20,000 and it hasn't to be new. Can I ask you a favor? Could please participate with you opinion in this site: what is the best american car at BestWhat.net Two million thanks! I'm looking for a sedan it could be sporty but no SUV or truck. From this list I like the Chevy Volt, the Corvette of course and the Buick Regal, but all of them are over my budget Any advice I'd really appreciate it.I'm just beautiful

The Ford Focus is a pretty good car with many features and redesign option for the 2012 model and is for sale under $20,000. I think its price es aroun $18,000. I would recommend you that one, it is an American car with good reviews.

Bad news for the Chevy Volt lovers. I just read there were a massive recall of this cars. Bad thing for the American cars. "You car say too much about you, so be careful what car are you driving" - The Hottest Car Girl

Chevrolet Volt is one of the best American cars? Not bad. But,the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has completed its safety investigation into the Chevy Volt, giving the car a rather clean bill of health. However, the Volt is still having issues in the marketplace. Many Chevy dealers are refusing to take the plug-in hybrid vehicles off of GM's hands.
