Huh?  You claim that you have no agenda or whatever but your tone against
American cars is completely negative.  I point out factual information that
disagrees with your perception, and then you accuse me of degrading this
discussion to an emotional one.

My arguments have been consistently factual.  I've pointed out that cars
built in the US but with Japanese labels are perceived worse, despite
being identical.  I've pointed out that the same thing has happened in
Europe.  I've pointed out that your Mazda Navajo is a perfect example of
this phenomon.  I've cited sources for all of my arguments and challenged
you to refute them.  The only thing "inconsistent" that I've done is
point out the American manufacturers that are (IMHO) low quality and the
Japanese ones that are high quality.  Car quality isn't a binary "good"/
"bad" thing - certainly you understand that.
