"Jap cars"???? For someone who claims to be a minority you sure are
racially insulting.

Stop top-posting.

Cut the BS. GM Ford and Chrysler have been sanction right here in America
for almost 100 years. So just stop the BS double talk.

i would not mind buying american cars again only if they can produce
quality like Honda and Toyota
until they can they and their UNIONS can go and $$$$ themselfs.
they still have not learned from their own mistakes, they just keep
producing the same old SHIT.

You mean the quality like my Moms old Toyota, so many problems even before
reacing 80k miles. Ended up selling it to the mechanic. Fit and finish wise
it was no different from any other car of the day. This being the late 80s.

My Chevy Suburban was made in Mexico. My Honda was made in the USA.
Both have parts made all over the world. What exactly is an American
car?

On average Japanese cars cost more. If you remove the name plates from most
cars and just drive them most would be satisfied. Its just that so many
people take hype as gospel. I know one person who says she doesnt like to
even be seen in an American car, why I asked her, she gave a basic response
that they were junk. I asked her what she owned, oh but she never owned a
car at all, she was 19 or 20 or so. I asked what her parents had, she said
they have alway had toyotas, nissans or whatever, never American. So there
you go... the epitamy of ignorance abounds. I hope you are not caught up in
it. Its like rap music, the most F'ed up music ever, with no talent
performers spewing filthy lyrics with no melody and a violent beat, yet a
generation of people know it really sucks but they listen just to be
considered cool. Then they actually start to beleieve its good. Weak minds
make weak souls.

Cost more to buy? Cost more to maintain?

I've had two American cars which threatened to cost me my job because my
boss got tired of the excuses for me being late or absent. Maybe that cost
should be factored in.

BS doubletalk.... is that like all the parts that have labels saying they
were made somewhere else? Or is that BS doubletalk like in "forget thefacts,
we're great simply because we're great"...

Rhetoric is useless... you really need to consider what you say...

Would you consider me to be patriotic if I bought a Fusion?
