Hey Nutsy,

I see the Mazda made it into the top Six Least Safe Cars on the road for
2006. Right behind the two Korean; the Hyundai and KIA. They were
followed by Nissan, Suzuki and Toyota.

I can't wait to hear the Boobs response to this huge news. I mean
that's just the opposite of what he's been saying. Jeezzee this is
huge. If the dorkmobile isn't safe then why be seen driving one. This

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.

well I don't own any of those, but they're talking about tiny el-cheapo
cars, not a Nissan Maxima or Toyota Camry. I wouldn't suggest a Kia or
Hyundai to anyone I cared about, though Hyundai has improved well
beyond Kia...which is pretty odd!

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

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.

I don't look at this from an economic point of view but the political

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.

Who's fault is that?
$60.00 an hour pay and benefits per person for unskilled labor! What's
wrong with that picture.

In the 70s and 80 after we showed them how to build cars they came back and
showed us they could do it better and still are.

Yeah real short sighted self centered Americans do so....Thats the
problem.


Clowns like Bobspirt think they help Americans when they buy a toyota
ect because they are put together here, citing the American workers who
benefit from the purchase of a Toyota ...you know the Teamsters, sales
personnel and service personnel.

These same people, however, would benefit from the purchase of a
U.S.-built vehicle. Additionally, the design, engineering, information
services, human resources, manufacturing and purchasing personnel, us
suppliers, the tier 1s 2s 3s etc., would also benefit from the purchase
of a U.S.-built car. Not so with the Jap crap.

Now that GM has announced its intentions to eliminate 30,000 U.S. jobs,
does Robert see how this could possibly affect him?

How bout you Beck?

There will potentially be 30,000 fewer Americans in the market for a
new or used home, to invest in the markets, to pay for college, to take
a vacation, to pay taxes, etc.

Unfortunately, too many people won't realize the flaw in their decision
not to buy American until it affects them personally, and then it will
be too late for all of us.

America is the greatest world power.

America has a service based economy.

A service based economy can be the world power.


America does have a great industrial base. Cars are a commodity, labor costs
are a big factor for commodities.

America leads in aircraft manufacturing. Aircraft are using more and more
composites so traditional machinists are being displaced.
America leads the world in financial services.
America leads the world in investment potential.
America leads the world in paper production, electrical generation, rocket
production, aluminum production, arms manufacturing, medicine,
pharmaceticals, house building, oil refining etc.

Everything America leads the world requires the workforce be highly
education. Education drives unions and low skilled labor away. Send jobs for
the ignorant to China - keep the Commies stupid.

I'm not worried at all. America will always be first in the hardest, most
sophisticated industrial arenas. Leave the easy stuff for foriegners.

Amen!

If only a new Vette was any good and not a rattle-box after just 6
months. I'm not going to buy junk just because I feel bad that my
country doesn't have a level playing field. It's also a farce since the
the US has proven that poor design is at the heart of it's failure. Not
only can't we build a good car, we can't get one on paper either.
My Tribeca is a "new" car 1st year model and has not had a single
problem of any kind, has the highest crash rating EVER measured for
it's class and leads for handling and braking. A 10th generation
Chrysler Minivan can't touch it nor could any Ford Explorer.

If you buy junk, you subsidize incompetence.

Who would go to a surgeon that kills 25% of his patients just so that
surgeon has work?

Who would send their kid to a school, that after 12 years, the kid can't
read?

Who would buy a mini van knowing that the transmission will need to be
replaced in 60K miles and have to pay for it?

If buying American is so essential and good, why not ban all imports?

Buy the best and forget the rest.

Americans are great workers. It's the narcissistic corporate management that
allows crap to be produced.

Remember what corporate chieftains get paid relative to the workforce, even
if the company fails. Think of Carly Fiorina of HP. She cut the stock value
of HP in half, laid off thousands and walked with $44 million.

It's not the guys at the bottom, it's the guys at the top.

Some years ago I read that the new Saturn was doomed to be obsolete on
introduction because it's design advantages were lost due to the time
it took to bring to market. When the Saturn was finally introduced it
was indeed already dated by several generations. Quite recently I read
that it still takes the US car makers 3 times longer to bring a design
off paper that Japanese builders. 3 times longer and with 6 times more
problems per car than the Japanese cars! It's actually very sad. Cars
like the Camry and Accord have come to represent the Japanese average,
while our most expensive premium brands can't touch them. Toyota is now
predicting a 10% sales gain in the US for the new year. Honda = 4%. GM
will only see those numbers relative to recalls!

I not a fan of vetts myself, If in that kind of market I'd buy a ford
GT or a Saleen S7 both great american cars.

Have you seen the new Dodge Charger ?
How bout the Dodge Hemi wagon? Great family car. It don't look like a

Keep your jap crap pin head. I hope when your boy grows up and wants a
job he can find one.

It was buildt by or fine allies the British. And I'm proud to support

I bought her used here in Texas from a Texan.

Spent many thousands using American companies and supplies restoring
her. She is wrapped in American paint applied by Americans using
American paint brushes. Parts of her steel hull now have American steel
welded in place by American welders.

Even when doing bottom jobs I use the outfit in the yard that has
Americans doing the grunt work, not cheaper illegal Mexican labor.

She has a Ford main engine, All of her new electronics are American
made, same with the sails, and the computor im typing with now.

My boat purchace in 1994 has had nothing but positive effects on

It's how they're built, designed and backed. In the US we fail in all 3
areas. For 30 years my father bought US cars. He owned Ford, Chrysler,
GM...all of them from pickups to family minivans. This year he finally
gave up. At 66 years old he said it was enough already and he finally
deserved a good car. He bought a Subaru Forester Turbo. After just a
few months he says it's the best car he's ever owned. And he doesn't
even care about the fact that it can do 0-60 in 5.3 seconds.
