Turning the purchase of a vehicle into a political decision is stupidity.
I gave Ford an honest opportunity. I had never been a Ford fan growing up (with vivid memories of my Dad’s major mechanical issues with his early 80’s F100, and my wife and my issues with a late 90’s Mercury Mistake...errr.. Mystique. But I recently owned a used Ford Expedition that had a bunch of miles and was former border patrol... so had been very much USED. Still - other than some very much common issues with all 4X4 vehicles - was a VERY reliable ride and I actually liked it. So figured I would give Ford a try.
Well...Two companies own all of the Ford dealerships anywhere around here - and they kind of don’t try to compete too much with each other. They didn’t want to deal or I would be driving that F150 I had picked out today.
But politics having nothing to do with buying a vehicle? Why not? Some posters on this thread say buying Japanese is supporting Obama (which is pretty absurd)... you blasting them, or just busting my chops for choosing the Titan with more horsepower, better price, more conveniences, and a more comfortable ride over the overpriced Ford?
When the real Chinese vehicles cross the big pond - you gonna seriously consider buying? After all - even though made by Chi-coms, politics shouldn’t play in...
