hand in killing scores of Americans less than 65 years ago. .

Subaru, Toyota, Mitisubshi all used captured American POW's as

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

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.

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.

The Boobster says he doesn't live in the past but the stuff he puts

American cars in 2007 are quality products as good as their Jap
competition.


What a laugh! Hey, trailer trashy, do you even drive US built cars?
Ever drive a Ford Focus, Jeep Liberty or Lincoln Navigator? Ever
notice how those cars have switch-gear that gets stuck in the dash?
Ever check the average longevity of a Chrysler mini van vs. a Toyota?
Oh, and I know someone with a new Vette. FAST car, but the rattles
continue. And for anyone who thinks Sloco has a clue, please check the
Motor Trend Vette forums where HALF of the late model owners complain
about squeaks and rattles.
The wives tale that US cars have about equaled overseas models was
printed by some papers and so on. I don't know any enthusiasts who
agree with it. What can you expect from a guy like Sloco? Has he ever
driven an STI, LGT or BMW 335? Of course not. He lives in a bubble of
ignorance. He thinks improved reliability makes these cars a match for
a Subaru or a BMW? Is he kidding? US car makers can't make ANYTHING as
refined or simply as nice as a Subaru or BMW. Anyone who's driven a
2007 Navigator vs. a BMW X5 knows what I mean. And......

If you care about things like refined usage of fuel....the average of
the top five MPG American cars gets 27.4 mpg in the city and 33.2 mpg
on the highway, while the average of the top five Japanese cars get
46.2 mpg in the city and 49 mpg on the highway. This equates to 68%
better gas mileage in the city and 48% better gas mileage on the
highway for Japanese cars. My LGT that does 0-60 in 5.2 seconds uses
less gas than a Chevy Cobalt!
Come to think of it....in the last 11 days I sailed J29, Santana 30/30
and the 35s5....all faster than Sloco's water-dragging Express-O-
Snail!!!!

It is not political, it is about humanity. Out of respect for my
fellow Americans that endured the inhumane treatment, and the ones
that were murdered I will not buy Japanese products.

If Japan admits all of it's crimes and asks us for forgiveness. Then
maybe we can more forward.

But hey that will never happen, that attitude is what made them in-
humane and act the way they did to start with.

Guess that depends. Was he a person who murdered captured POW's?

It's a Jap company.

Your opinion, and you have that right..as lame as it is.

I do not either. Many on the board of directors at Subaru were WWII
vets.

If I did I probably would live in a trailer like Scotty. And a company

Wrong..good or bad a companies history goes to it's roots and actions
and the people who ran it.

American cars in 2007 are quality products as good as their Jap
competition. By the way Corvettes stopped rattling "after a year"
years ago. Everyone knows that story has become an old wives tale
these days. As far as cars from overseas goes try buying what is
considered the finest. My neighbor has a E series MB. It's now out
of warrenty. Every trip to the dealer for service costs him $1,000.
Wiper blades are $60! And you can't get them at the local parts
store. Or how about a BMW? There great cars right. Do a check on
service recalls on those babies. Count how many per model per year.
As far as the Boobs kiddy car goes he was just caught up in the 0-60
time per dollar advertising plus he wanted to be admired by the
teenage skanks he cruises for.
