Wha? Jap cars less safe than Merican cars? What will comrade
Bubbles say?


My Subaru is built in the USA. Outback sports are built in Japan. The
Sports are more reliable than the US built models. So we can't even
build a Japanese car in the USA and do it right.

Must have people here like you on the line making them. Do us all a
favor, make America a better place.... move to Tokyo.

Don't get mad at me, Joe. When this country is able to make a good car
I'll buy one. Toyota is about to surpass GM. I wonder why my old Subaru
with 110K on it had practically no rattles while the new G6 and Hummer
H3 sounded like they were falling apart. Why is my Tribeca so much more
solid feeling than a Jeep? No go drive a silly Harley. We can't even
build a good bike here.
Of course the rest of the world is laughing.

Putz, It's the cost that keep Americans from buying new American made
cars.

Did you know GM spends more on employee pensions then they do on steel?

Just think if we had a level playing field with the Japs. We could buy
a new corvette for 16K, and put 100's of millions more into R&D.

Not to mention that the japanese govt still refuses to even admit that
as a nation they committed mass murder and torture of American's
prisioners during WW11 and refuse to apoligise.

****...if Al-Quedia made a better car today, you would buy it from
them.

Funny thing is your still driving the biggest Vagina looking slushbox
unsafe Dork mobile on the road.

It is truly American to buy the best product available for your money,
regardless of where it came from. That's capitalism and freedom!

Anything else is tribalistic jingoism.

Amen!

Here, here.

I don't look at this from an economic point of view but the political
and social points of view. The question really is whether America can
remain a great power or a dominant power if it becomes a primarily
service economy, and I doubt that. A country has to have an industrial
base in order to play a significant role in the world. And I am
concerned from that point of view.

Here Here, Just 1 hour ago Dana announced they will have to lay off
800 Canooks. They musta made crappy stuff...no one wanted to buy.

Henry Ford would look at the hilarious red tape that exists between
today's design department and actual production and laugh his ass off.
American cars suck for one simple reason: Americans.
