Foreign cars

Duster 414 – I chose to speak of cars because it is whats in the article. And this is a car forum. OF COURSE I disapprove of us buying other goods from foreign markets. Why buy something imported when you have it domestically? That goes for all products. As far as American exports go, If we sell, we do if we don’t, we don’t. the one world economy makes us far too dependant upon others to stay afloat.

Joe - yes, they do. Sadly we wont buy another Chrysler product until its American again. Which sucks, Id love an SRT Challenger. But I do agree with you that the US makers need to stop making cars in other countries. The bottom line is economics. Its destroying the economy.

67dart440 – You may have had a lemon. And at what cost is it worth, the message sending to the automakers? Economic ruin? We are there.

AB - your ram truck is built in mexico by Daimler… double whammy. All I am saying is if you can buy American, do it. Youll better the country.

Grassy – all of them. Although you are right about the middle class and manufacturing. Outsourcing and plants out of the country are a huge contributor to what I am saying.

Ok I am running out of will to prove my point. The bottom line is that the big 3 used to make the most reliable cars in the world. Slant6 ring any bells? So, can they again, yes. Even so, how long does the average American keep their car for when purchased new? 60,000 miles? Provided the car is properly maintained (and is usually under warranty for this time) reliability is USUALLY ( there are lemons ) a non-issue. So if you can buy a car administrated, designed, and built in America and keep money in OUR economy, why would you buy one that is NOT? Am I the only one that has a basic working knowledge of economics. Honestly I am thoroughly surprised at how many of you drive foreign cars. Maybe it’s my hometown Detroit pride but I think that’s only a small part of it.
