Ditto for vehicles. Almost nobody in Australia would buy
an imported US
made vehicle in preference to a Japanese or even Korean
made one.

We had a KIA and our son drives KIA's...junk cars....give
me a GM
anyday...or even a Ford....

Both my Son and Daughter own KIAs. They couldn't afford much
more and I told them with the long warranty they were better
than a used 'Merican car. I also told them I was tired of
working on cars.

Me too. That's why I sold my Range Rover and bought a Mitsubishi. It's
why my car is a Subaru Liberty AWD that's 15 years old, 227,000 on the
clock and works just fine, thanks. If/when I retire I'll buy a Subaru
Forester and I reckon that'll see me out nicely.

A lifelong friend in Vermont has a Subaru--sorry, can't recall the
model--with just a shade over half a million miles on it. Lots of
fiberglass and Bondo, and it sure ain't pretty, but it runs just fine. The
engine is original with two top overhauls plus a new transmission a while
back. He loves to complain about it, but if you say anything even remotely
disdainful about it, it's as if you've called his mother a whore.
