Where do the Big Three invest a lot of their money? GM's putting 5.6 billion dollars of it this year just into American healthcare coffers. That's my rationale for calling it a "home" industry. Plus, their corporate headquarters, history, and many of their car sales are here. Car companies that don't have their HQ here make small investments in NA compared to GM, Ford, and Chrysler.
Your post was indeed about Chrysler's engines. But I countered that everybody else is doing the same thing, and rattled off various companies' offerings. The only difference is Chrysler gave their engines a name, and now everybody wants to buy them. Nothing wrong with that..
One other thing I don't get...OHV engines aren't old tech...they're actually a newer design than OHC. Whether they're better is for another thread...but IDK if they're "old-tech."
And yes, I probably did fly off the handle above. But I am tired of hearing people who slam American cars without a good reason, so perhaps I overreacted to this. We can agree to disagree.
