Well, one of the reasons the interiors in the same price range no way compete goes back to that little sticker on her vehicle that read "UAW" :iagree:

:iagree: ................ and back to the OP's original comments, most everyone here are car enthusiasts and understand the "global" reality of where parts are sourced from, where different makes and models are assembled, etc. It is really sad when some ignorant fool wants to damage you or your Z because you didn't "buy American", when so many imports are assembled in America, while that "American" vehicle they are sporting around was built in Mexico. :eek:

The Corvette guys are the first to wave the flag. They're in complete denial when you tell them there car is only 79% US content..

:iagree: Honda Odyssey 80% US content.

You took the words out of my mouth. All I can say is amen.

I am sure if you tear down every vehicle made you are bound to find a mix of foreign and domestic vendors. Even the Big 3 have preferred vendor lists based on lowest cost. The whole thing is one huge irony!

Irony and deception. The dumb gets dumber and poorer, smarter gets richer. And the middle class gets to pay the price.

Wow... I pulled into the parking lot of a restaurant downtown last night to meet up with some friends. All of a sudden I kept hearing some V8 revving and roaring. I was already :mad: about other things, and the revving got me ticked off. [Foolishly] I started revving back wondering wtf was going on, and he started revving even more. Then I shutoff my car and proceeded to walk in the restaurant with my gf. We kept hearing more revs, so I walked out and this bald douche kept staring at me with the "I'm going to kill you" look and kept revving. It was an El Camino with a couple of dirt bikes on the back. I walked back in, he pulled out and left. :shakes head:

...I must confess I've been considering the Mercury Milan as a DD; you know, like to spare my Zed the daily wear and tear. The main problem's the pre$ent $ituation!

Are you kidding? From what I have experienced Mazda's interior are very good.

No I am not kidding, their are mazdas that are good, but take a look at a basic cx7 i think it is, the suv. That I have to say is a pretty crappy interior, maybe worse then the camaros. The rx8 and 3 and 6 models seem pretty nice though.

So she's anti 'import' ...

yet she shops at Walmart where almost all of their products are MADE IN CHINA.

:roflpuke2:

Kansas Redneck? Guess the South doesn't hold the franchise on those...

In spite of what the rest of the country would like to have you believe.... they're everywhere :p
