“Um, the pricks make jokes about the people who drive them?”
Come now, it’s a funny joke. Some of the biggest jerks I have ever met drove Corvettes. That said, I’d have one in a second. I laugh at that old joke but if I had the jack for an M3, I’d buy one tomorrow.
Check my name and just guess how many auto-related jabs I take. I don’t take them seriously and neither should you.

can’t say station wagon, crossovers don’t you know. My neighbor really got tight when I saw her car and said nice station wagon.

Message to BMW CEO: The target market of X5's is the US. People buy BMW's because of the upscale cache. Junk made in China is, well, junk made in China.
No worries.

Have no fear, I wasn't taking the joke seriously at all - I was just seeing if I could turn it around. After all, there are lots of tools driving every type of vehicle, and lots of wonderful people driving them all as well.
Anyway, you have my condolences on the whole Fiero thing!

A Taurus is the perfect bar of used soap.

The Japaneses have been doing this for years What Japanese car manufacturer would be stupid enough to try to duplicate an American car?? Detroit should try to copy Japan's cars.

I would never have known the difference by looking.
I have no doubt the German vehicle doesn't use lead paint.

LOL especially when the transmission falls out on the way home from the lot. When it fails the crash test, miserably, the Chinese will react badly.

But you could see incremental improvement in everything the Japanese did with autos. The Chinese seem to be approaching things in a haphazard manner. Obviously they are unconscious of the PR impact of their blunders (killing household pets with poisoned dog food ingredients and putting lead paint on children’s toys?). I’m not sure they are on a path paralleling the Japanese yet.

Not much to worry about....the effin chinks can’t even build a simple copier machine even when we supply them with blueprints (based on personal experience).
So to actually “wing it” and build a COPY of something....lordy, lordy, lordy....you wouldn’t catch me riding in that crap-box.
