Foreign cars
Hey, I can tell you I dont have my head stuck in the sand. In my opinion I am not alone. Foregn cars have taken over and American autos are on the way out. Its only a matter of time before foreign automakers own all American automakers and just pump money to them to keep the American cars being built just to keep people like me for example buying cars that I can feel good about buying and guess what? The foregn automaker STILL makes money!! I have read this thread all the way through and seen lots of reasoning related to this and that about American verses foreign and yes, this goes WAY beyond cars. The big difference with all of that is we have no choices on pretty much everything involved. Electronics, clothing, and toys for example are all made or owned by foreign manufacurers and this stuff is shoved in our faces and we either buy it or have little to show. Thats just the way it is, NO CHOICE. On a foreign car EVERYBODY has a choice. There are some good cars and trucks being made in this country by automakers in this country and they are being overlooked. by people that want as it was stated in this thread 'a superior product!! Define superior!! Look at all the recalls by Honda, Toyota, Nissan and the others that build their cars under the Japanese 'Big Three' over the last several years. Does anyone know why this has happened? I dont but my guess is "greed". I think these guys have figured that cutting corners, cheapening (I think thats a word) the cars/trucks by saving pennies on a particular part is good business and meanwhile their pockets get a little bigger. Yeah, everyone does it but in my eyes so much for that 'superior product'!! Now foreign automakers are dealing with the fallout. They reap what they sow!! They put out recall after recall and promise to 'fix the problem' and 'do right' by us. Really?? They could care less about us!! And even with cars that accelerate out of control, start on fire, shut down at speed, have power window switches that start on fire, have steering shafts that snap, I can go on all day people still stand in line to buy these cars and trucks. Myself I just dont get it!! Everyone has their opinion and I have mine. I just dont buy these cars because in this case I HAVE A CHOICE!! As for the countless people who buy foreign knowing they can choose and still buy foreign I have no opinion about, its a free country and everyone has the right to choose!! Foreign cars fall into the same catagory as sexual gender, same sex unions, religion, union vs. non union and other like subjects. Im pretty much a live and let live kind of guy. I have little opinion about anything and for the most parts could care less. Until someone comes along and forces his or her belief on me and attempts to tell me about how great something is or right something is that deep down I was raised to not accept by hard working parents who tried to teach me what they thought was right. I dont blame them though for what I feel and believe. But some things set me off and this subject is one of them.
