I have a Jeep that was probably made in Mexico and I do not think I will be buying another "American" car. I think it is funny that they best cars come from the two nations we beat and reindustrialized after WWII.

As for muscle I am not a fan of rice but I do have a love for kraut. :cool:
All that power does you little good if you can’t turn a corner while using it. For me a RUF Porsche is where it is at.

I know a guy in the Springs who has an Atom on order right now.

For those that haven't seen it, here's what Jeremy Clarkson thinks of the Atom:

All I am saying is that your delusional view that because you bought a US made car employed more people here vs. my Toyota is a fantasy. My Toyota employed just as many US workers as your Ford and it's ten times more reliable. [wink]

Ok, can we agree that Imports employee as many US workers as domestic auto companies? (almost) If so, can we also agree that sales of imports benefit foreign companies? I don't think that we will agree on the reliable issue, yet.. :P

I don't think that we will agree on the reliable issue, yet.. :P

I didn't agree with my import-loving dad until I owned one.

I was a huge import guy. I've owned: eight Volvos, an Eagle Talon, an Eclipse. Then I bought a Ford truck. That was good, so we bought a Lincoln SUV, then I bought a Corvette. I swore I would never own a domestic car or truck. Somewhere along the way I became a huge V-8 fan.

Our three domestic cars are the most reliable vehicles I've ever owned. I haven't had a big repair (other than maintainence) in over three years.

I still drive an older Volvo ('98) as my daily/beater. It has 208k and a few issues!

Our next vehicle will be German. The Wife's wanted a BMW 5 series for some time now.
