blah blah blah, you guys have a nice day dumping your hard earned cash into companies that overpay employees and and make **** products....HAVE FUN.....
Times change, get over the whole dont supports other countries ****....
i buy what works. end of story.
You got this right. This is the main reason Japan is closed to North American Cars. The import Tax on these cars are as much as the car cost. So only very few can afford to buy one. Japanese people would buy US cars if the tax wasn't so high. The USA needs to impose a Import Tax on Jap cars like the Japs does the US cars. Yea sure their assembled here in the US but their still imported. And most of the profit goes to the country of origin.
I just love when people say they won't buy a certain make because of the unions. They rather send their money to a country that loves to see the USA fail. Talk about UN-American. I by no means support unions. They have their problems but so do most industries. The auto makers and the UAW need overhauled. But it wont stop me from buying American and keeping my money here not to some other country that hates the USA.
As far as people thinking GM, Ford Or Chrysler being more expensive than Toyota, Honda or Nissan need to go down to your local dealers and check prices. A fully loaded Impala or Fusion are less expensive than a fully loaded Camry or Accord. And are just as nice and reliable. Japanese cars used to be cheaper but not no more. Japanese have quality cars. but do little for the US economy. Yes they provide jobs up and down the car market but a small percentage of their profits stay here.
Do I own Japanese products? Yes I guess I do. The motor in my sleds and my race car are made in Japan. My TVs and computer are made in Japan. So I'm a hypocrite, its hard not to be when it comes to some products.
I have tried to stay out of threads like this cause people don't like what I say. I have spent two and a half years in Japan and have seen how hard it is to get a foreign car into that country. And how Japanese people don't think North Americans can build anything. I would like to see the sale of foreign cars in this country stop but it will never happen. It needs to be fair. There's a stiff tax on cars going onto Japan there needs to be a equally stiff tax on Japanese cars coming to America.
Most people that buy foreign cars have no idea what damage they are doing to the US economy. These same people you can never please, have no patients or understand people are human and will make mistakes. A Lot of problems cars(foreign or domestic) have today are not from human error. Most parts are computer or robot made. The Japanese build great stuff but all they do is work six days a week 10 hours a day and are a slave to their work. Not my idea of a great life.
Go ahead and say American cars arent even made in the USA. At least the profits come back here when it is all said and done. I much rather support a product made in Canada or Mexico than one made overseas in a country that hates and wants to see us fail.
Its time to rethink American.
Flame on flame on this AMERICAN is use to it

TTT, want to hear more on this one,
I just noticed this thread.....all this US vs Jap car stuff and no one has mentioned that almost all of the the japanese cars we buy are made in the US, with paychecks going to non-union American workers and supporting American business.....the 1970's are over.
