| why do so many of you guys on here gripe about things going bad in America, then go jump into your imported cars. don't tell me that your Toyota is made in usa, its still a jap company. |
|
Let me guess, you're one of those "I buy American, I'm a patriot. I'm helping the economy" types.
Buying American just for the hell of it doesn't do any good. It hurts the economy, actually. You're propping up the onerous regulations and taxes that are exporting our work. |

I'm going to buy the car which is best for the price. All American companies have the capability to build car competitive with all imports but they choose not to for the most part. in the past 5 years American car companies have had a turn around but their past will still hurt them.
I'll buy what is cheapest and best bang for the buck. As patriotic as I am, we became the economic power house by the Free Market. The good will last, the bad will die, The country it comes from doesn't matter. China is the only country I wont buy from, and thats only if the order is over $10. My reasoning is because china will be Americas next big war. |

Stupid. That Toyota probably uses a V6 engine made right here in Madison County Alabama, USA.
By nonunion labor btw. Meanwhile the ol Saginaw UAW plant has been empty for 8 years now. The unions fu&^ed themselves, and since most are like my dipshit cousins husband, who was and is a union thug, I have zero fu*&s given. |
wow guys you should all be ashamed. American auto workers helped build this nation up. most of you don't know what's going on, and its pretty obvious. I know UAW people who drove 2 hrs one way just to work like a dog all day and make a living and you guys don't give a care. Im finished with you losers on this website. You mfing America haters can please go move to Japan for all I care. The BMW man can go live with his german engineering elsewhere too. Yalls mentality is really a total POS. The American consumer is what is shutting Detroit down and yall mfers show it.https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR2DyqcXXf-pomx9RXEgEzCSl92oeIS7f7WnNcrQta9Jc91fbbc

Quoted: I refuse to spend $25k to $37k on an inferior vehicle when I can buy something from a Japanese company and outlast any vehicle from the big 3. Fuck Ford Fuck GM Fuck Chrysler Yup. American cars need to be able to stand on their own. I'm not going to buy it just because "It's American!" and some douchebag on the internet says that if I don't buy like he says then it's my fault that America has troubles. And to be fair, there are some cars from American manufacturers that don't suck. None of them are for me, but that's a different story.

isn't Toyota a publicly traded company? and my Camry is more made in the US than most Chevy/Ford/Chrysler. heck, the Tundra is made exclusively in the US. A few years ago in high school we got to tour the Toyota factory where they make all the Camrys in Georgetown Kentucky. I guess to tour Dodge Chrysler and GMC in Canada would be too long of a drive. |

Last I heard that plant employees 1000 American workers. The Toyota engine plant near here just expanded. But, neither of them are union. Thus, I will continue to buy vehicles from Nissan or Toyota. |

I own 5 vehicles. One of each of the major Japanese brands, and a single domestic. My lone domestic vehicle is from back when America knew how to make a quality, long lasting product, and as a result I'll probably get another 60 good years out of my 1949 Ford 8N.
The funny thing is that my FJ Landcruiser that was built entirely in Japan back in 1983 still contributed to the US economy via the license Toyota paid to GM for their loose copy of the Chevy 207 straight six motor. |

Do you know what is shutting Detroit down the fact that the union has driven the cost of producing a car up while Japanese companies like Subaru (Who make their cars in this country) make better cars for far less money. In my area of MICHIGAN Awd or 4wd is a near must their cars are getting more and more popular because they are engineered better and are cheaper than the plastic garbage Detroit is putting out now. I am a mfer because I fallow economics and won't enslave myself to your need? You guys already got paid to sit and do nothing during 2008 with government money/debt which is just a mortgage on my future. I picking out a new car right now to replace my old totaled suburban and you won't see a dime.
