Thinking of a new vehicle for the wife

[Madeinhb]

I know it's a global economy but I think we could all help by considering buying domestic products over foreign. It seems not very many people even think of that aspect when choosing a vehicle these days. Buying American when possible always seems like a better idea to me than foreign yet reading most of the replies it's not even brought up as one of the determining factors

Using GM as an example - corvette is only car built is US. Almost every other car is "built" in Mexico.

I do not believe this to be true there is a van plant and Colorado truck plant in wentzville mo and I'm sure there are others plus I think if we bought more we would have to " make more" which would provide more good paying jobs. I'm sure I am oversimplifying it but why buy Korean and Japanese cars when there are viable us alternatives

Oh, and I don't recall Toyota, Nissan, etc. running their company into the ground and then taking a handout from the federal government either.[/QUOTE]

Brought to you by the same people that brought you Pearl Harbor what would our grandparents say

Help what exactly? Not everyone is okay with encouraging low quality products just because they are made here.

You said it better than I was going to.

To the die hard "buy American" crowd, GET OVER IT, seriously. If American automobile manufacturers were truly cranking out 100% American made cars and trucks, I'd say you have a valid point, anymore that is not the case.

For the record, I don't buy a vehicle based on where it's made, I buy them based on what I can afford, and what suits my needs best. I've been a die hard Jeep Cherokee guy for years, and recently switched to a Tacoma. American manufacturers don't make anything that I feel compares to a Tacoma, and I'm sure all the American workers in California, that put my truck together are happy to get a paycheck.

I agree with some of your points but if we bought less Toyotas, Hyundais Nissans the California workers would be building ford and Chevys

Clearly your grandparents are racist fucks who agreed with internment camps for american citizens just because of the shape of their eyes.

You took this way off topic, open your own thread.

Parts might be made here. My GM car said parts made in America - assembled in Mexico.

Sorry this is not how it works.
