Now that (your car) is an awesome car. I didn't want to sound stereotypical, but the woman grabbed her cell phone and was yelling at her kids who were bouncing all over inside the truck before she gave me a dirty look and turned into Walmart. Me? I was laughing too hard to say anything.

Yeah.. about the only thing we can do is pity people like this. I certainly wouldn't want to walk in their shoes. Even for a day.

But you are right, I was just meaning like for the same price range, the z, the g, honestly even alot of mazdas have better quality then the american cars. ( and for the record I REALLY hope to own a cts v soon)

I really like my Lincoln MKX and the value for the money was right on. Not to mention it was made right here in Canada. Well, Ontario, if you can call that part of Canada still. As for the Nissan 370Z I just ordered, well, I like to think I am helping the global economy too!!:tup:

My dream car is still an Escalade EXT and it will be my next car. Built the way I want it, it'll be around 65-70k, which is about where I want to spend for my next anyways. So it'll either be that, or something like a BMW M class. I didn't want either now, because at 26...I don't want to feel like an old man yet.

I've owned/driven 6 cars. I still own all the imports, and the domestic ones are in a junk yard somewhere. Cadillac or Buick will be the only domestic car I own from now on.

I'm a union worker and believe in supporting local labor and businesses. However one of the great things about this country is the freedom to do basically what I want and choose to buy what I want. Build an equal car thats made here and I'll buy it. Period. Show us that you are superior,UAW!

This thread reminds me of another thread at a different forum when one of the members there cracked me up saying something about the patriotic american flags these rednecks wave. The flags which are made in china. :D

Hahaha.

When i drove my car up to Michigan as soon as i hit the border i saw virtually no imports on the roads everything was american. I got looks from A LOT of people lol. I just thought to myself "You're just giving me mean looks because your upset your car doesnt look as good as mine"

Forrest 11-06-2009 09:44 PM

Alot of Nissan's are built in Tennesee. just not the Z.

People say that buy American crap but they dont understand the concept that America was built off competition and capitalism. That means to me if some one can provide you with a superior product you dont buy the crappy product.

Simple fact that Goverment bought out GM means they messed with a already good working system. GM should have went under, that would have left space for a new company to arise and profit, providing us with something possibly better or worse. You cant keep providing garbage and hope every one bails you out.

I also bet you take any one of those idiots that spout buy american, i can almost promise they would drive a brand new ferrari if it was handed to them.

Oh yeah, there is NOTHING American that i could have bought that was 31.5k that is better than my Z.

Buy American?
Execluding automobiles!
What is left that's built in America? All the plants are south of the border, or over seas! GM wants to build automobile plants in Russia!

I've actually sat in that interior and trust me it doesn't compare to the quality you get in BMW/Mercedes/Audi. That shiny black plastic on the center console is just terrible, the plastic in the 370Z feels better than that crap.
