Buy American!
ATTENTION AMERICANS (remember us?)
Why Be A Traitor--be a patriot, buy an American car for a change!
America (remember America?) was the world leader in industry, military, etc., etc. Why help them continue to bury us!
Get up on yer hind legs and act like Americans even if it is no longer PC to do so, even if you are not!
Amen to that... My next car will probably be another Honda made in Ohio, Toyota made in Kentucky, or a Hyundai made in Alabama :)
I used to buy Detroit's cars. Not any more. The come up with a neat design and then "cost accounting" gets into the manufacturing processes and they become unusable junk. They cut costs and quality to pay those high labor costs.
I'll gladly pay more for a Toyota...because it's worth the extra money I'm spending up front. I have owned cars from Detroit as recently as two years ago, and will never buy another one. Have fleet vehicles from Detroit now, and they are absolute garbage.
My first Toyota 4Runner has been excellent. 1996...175K on her and still runs strong, no rust in rusty Western NY. Mantainence has been minimal. Consumables like tires (50K) and brakes (70K), 1 exhaust system (145K), oil (every 3K) and gas (24MPG). The interior is worn, but it doesn't squeak, tick or have wind noise.
I liked it so much I bought another one for the wife.
The number of times I have been stranded by my Detriot cars & trucks is too long to list.
Until GM, Ford, and Chrysler, break their unions I won't buy their vehicles.
