RB 35s5 NY Is that Sedan made in China like Thomas's 4 wheel drive toy? Better check the paint, and I hope you keep on top of all the re-call lists. Joe |

![]() Is that Sedan made in China like Thomas's 4 wheel drive toy? Neither is made in China. Subaru is one of a few companies using more ecologically sound paint chemistry. The downside is that the paint is less durable. RB 35s5 NY |

Asia..Land of lead paint, and rice burners, Subaru is one of a few companies using more ecologically sound paint chemistry. That's what Mattel said about it's Chinese made toys.....before the recall that is. The downside is that the paint is less durable. That and it's on an automobile that is made by a company that had a hand in killing scores of Americans less than 65 years ago. . Subaru, Toyota, Mitisubshi all used captured American POW's as slaves, beating and killing many. Joe RB 35s5 NY |

hand in killing scores of Americans less than 65 years ago. . Subaru, Toyota, Mitisubshi all used captured American POW's as slaves, beating and killing many. The world will never heal and bigotry will remain if we allow history to govern our lives. History should teach, not enforce grudges built on long dead political evils. My wife's great grandfather fought against the USA. What does that have to do with her, me or anything? Subaru is one of the finest US companies around and treats workers far better than Ford or GM. They also make better cars than the US builders can't match. If I buy an American car all I'm doing is extending a losing proposition; the continuing sale of inferior products in a world market. The big three can build the best cars in the world, but they won't ever do it if people give them any support. I don't hold people accountable for what their anscestory was up to. If I did I probably would live in a trailer like Scotty. And a company identity is about today and last year, not 65 years ago. If the US builds a car as good as my Sedona or LGT Turbo I'll happily buy one, even if it's a bit more expensive. I'm just waiting for that to happen. RB 35s5 NY |

Yeah? So? They still do better by US workers than Ford or GM. How do I know? My uncle worked for GM and finished out his career with Subaru. He hated GM as did many of his co-workers. These companies used to lead the world and now they are a blazing symbol of US' lack of imagination and pride in workmanship. Try driving a Ford Fusion or Pontiac G6. Drive a new Vette after just a single year and listen to the rattles. My Sedona isn't just "better" than than Chrysler's vans; it's like night & day better. US built cars are simply...a shame. My father was one of the last holdouts, doggedly buying American cars until just 17 months ago. He finally gave up and bought a Subaru. Patriotism is not an excuse to sell people junk. If there was a car as good as my Subaru LGT made by the USA and it was 3 or even 5K more, I'd buy it! THAT would be patriotic. RB 35s5 NY |
