* 1/3rd made in Mexico, 1/3rd made in Canada and 1/3rd made in America.

Does the fact that Aston Martin's DB7 Vantage and V12 Vanquish's manual transmissions came out of Mexico make them unappealing to you, too?

Why does it matter, as long as it works?

That was one of the few reasons that drove me away from a Camaro/Mustang.

The other reason was that they were HUGE. I just did not want to feel like I was driving a truck. The only things that were nice from those two cars was the power and a little bit of the looks and that was it for me. But I still think the 370z looks much better, just wish it had more power to play with.

So, if I had to choose all over again. I would still pick the 370z.

I agree 100%. With the mustang, you feel like you sit ON the seat. With the Z/Vette/S2000, etc. (sports cars vs. Muscle cars...) you sit IN the seat. This is part of why I don't "feel" the GT500.

We don't know yet, the car is too new. If the customer satisfaction has been good enough down the line, I will be open to changing my mind. Aston Martin etc., is another league... its like, when Bed Bath & Beyond sells $100 sheets from India, in spite of the outsourcing, they maintain some quality standards. But in $30 sheets imported, there's a little fuzzy-ness, which I will eliminate based on customer opinion once the 2010 Camaro's are old enough and there's evidence they didn't break.. till then, sticking to old school.. Just playing it safe, specially when its the first bunch of huge savings for a 20'somethin
