Good luck trying to be positive about an American car. It's not so much that the members are anti-American auto as those that are are very vocal about it. Now if the same car had a Japanese badge on the hood the rose colored glasses would come out. Unfortunately the enthusiasm for economical/ecological cars surpasses the understanding of economics by many. When a car company won't give them the car they want, the demand side of supply and demand is way out of scale. When they do, THEN it's not economical. I personally grew up a GM guy, and I carry the badge to this day (although I drive a 2000 Insight manual). Good for you; I wish I could afford a Volt, or a Fusion Hybrid for that matter. Regardless, I will try to keep an open mind to any car.
