Five American car brands that deserve a second chance.
The American auto industry is alive and well in 2015, with buyers snatching up more cars than ever and the “Big Three” posting record numbers after the turmoil of 2008 onwards. Ford, General Motors, and the new Fiat-Chrysler are looking stronger than ever, with increases in quality, efficiency, and innovation coming with every new model.
