I grew up in Mid-Michigan. Not far from Buick City. We always drove GM cars. I flew back there two months ago and rented a car at Detroit Metro airport. There was one Hyundai in the whole lot. It was parked up front with the mid-size cars, and the rep said,"That one has problems, you don't want to rent it."
GM cars are like couches on wheels. When you have roads like Michigan, that freeze and thaw all the time, you need a comfortable ride. A milder climate allows for a stiffer, sportier suspension.
How many people in the Pacific NW like Airbus planes? How many people in St. Louis drink Corona? How many people in Vermont put Aunt Jemima syrup on their waffles? How many Apple computers are there in Austin, TX where Dell and IBM employ over 22,000 people? Don't expect the midwest to have any less regional pride. Their friends and neighbors have jobs there. It still matters in that part of the country - always will.
