Because thats the nature of competition...
Sure it is, but dont you think Americans and Canadians would want to buy American made vehicles instead of foreign pieces of shit to win the damn competition?
This shows how stupid us Americans and Canadians are. We cant all open our eyes and realize what we are doing wrong and what we need to change.
If you live in America and Canada and are having a hard time finding a job and buy nothing but foreign products, I dont feel hardly any sympathy for you.
Do you not realize how many foreign car makers have plants in the U.S.? These plants employ thousands of American workers.
Yes, but they just recently they started doing that.
Yes, but they just recently started doing that.
Up until now, I bought my vehicles very used, and yes, they were imported. I couldn't afford new until now, and Japanese trucks had/have a good track record for low maintainance.
I am now the owner of a new American truck. Unfortunately, the engine design and many of it's parts are by Mazda.
I'm no American, but cars from south east Asia are cheap use little gas and drive for a lot of miles. US cars are durable but cost too much and use much gas as well. I'd rather take a US car because Japanese parts are expensive and their cars arent durable for heavy weight cargo. Plus they are so small. Americans dont really care about "competition". The middle class of America cares more about being able to pay bills and live a cheap life. Survival is becoming more important than patriotism and competition. US cars in my opinion are way better than Japanese cars. They aren't better than those good old German luxuries but they're durable, long miles, and rarely break down. I dont live in the US but I've had my '39 Jeep Willys forever and I've only had to change the tires.
Mystikal, it's not a new thing. The Honda Accord I bought in 1989 was made in a U.S. plant. Even before they started assemblying in the U.S., many of the parts were produced in metal forming and machine shops in the U.S. If you look around you can find a lot of foreign cars, especially Saab, Honda (Acura), Toyota (Lexus), and Nissan (Infinity) have a small printed sign inside that say PROUDLY MADE IN THE USA. In Japan there is high demand for Japanese cars that are made in the U.S.
Yes, but from that "Made in America" Honda, who gets more profit? Japan or USA? Saab I think is no a GM car.
None of those are GM cars.
I would have loved to buy an American car but I couldn't afford one, so I had to buy a Hyundai.
I love Camaros, somday when I can afford it I buy one, too bad they stopped making them. I just have to buy a used one.
Actually there is many forein car companies that assemble vehicles in the US & Canada, but assembling and building from scratch are 2 different things, in an American vehicle all the part are built domestically, besides oil, automobiles are Canada's no 1 export to the US, I agree it is important to purchase American cars in North America, The problem is that many American cars are using obsolete technology & engineering in their vehicles. In the next 10 years I think the American automakers will catch up to the Japanese.

Yes, SAAB is a part of GM now BigDaddy. ABC is right about the U.S. catching up to the Japanese. My dad works at GM and he brings home these little booklets/magazines of cars of the future and I see some really nice cars that GM will be coming out with.
