The worldwide competition frenzy between the United States’ automobile manufacturers and many Asian automotive manufacturers rages on.  Especially now, with the recent concerns over vehicle fuel efficiency ratings and global gas prices.  Statistics now show a growing competition between carmakers here in the US and abroad as industry commonsense has everybody attempting to make more economical vehicles.  The priorities of the past, such as size and luxury are no longer the status symbols they once were.  Gasoline costs are now a major factor in auto sales.  The gasoline guzzlers of the past are now being frowned upon.

Some of the new technologies create new concerns about the reliability of some of the new vehicles being built.  An extended auto warranty is perhaps more necessary now than ever.  Feeling this thing of excess or repair bills when no aftermarket auto warranty is in place is something consumers just don’t want to deal with.

The numbers speak for themselves.  Many Americans are being forced to be much more sensible about their vehicle purchase choices.  Currently, Asia still provides a more practical model line for the current global climate.  US automobile makers are attempting to hang in there but are currently just not cutting it.
