> They came for a single reason: To avoid import tariffs. Please stop romanticising this for any other reason.

Where did I suggest they came for any particular reason? I just said they got here first. They've had more time to become entrenched in people's lives than the Korean or Chinese companies that followed. That's all! Nothing "romantic" here!

At no point did I indicate any nostalgia for the idiosyncracies of the "GM patriarch" family. Is that what you're suggesting?

And yeah, "we" is Americans. As evidenced by the sentence that starts with "I grew up in middle America."

I genuinely don't understand this comment. It's like you saw "we're a car-centric society," stopped reading, and started typing.
