What's foreign?
Many Chevys have less American content than a US built Toyota, Honda, Nissan or Subaru.

I have 3 vehicles in my yard. A chevy pickup, a dodge spirit, and a honda accord. Guess witch on is made in the US?

Can't talk to much politics.
Their companies get stronger-ours get weaker.
Trade in your dependency on foreign oil for dependency on foreign manufacturing,
Just like rome we are falling asleep.
I hope you lose your jobs. :flag:

Good companies get stronger. If they start making cars people want to buy they will come back. I'm going to buy the best car for me regardless of where it comes from, not for some false sense of patriotism.

In the flatlands of Ct. for a little bit longer.
Ah no, but I take it you don't have a good answer for the argument.

They are and have been making better cars for some time now. They made their bed in the 80's and i believe the pessimism of the american people is pretty strong against them.
Not all of us are so pessimistic and some still believe. As for the rest of you. I hope your job gets shipped over to india.
Now I go to watch south park. They took'er jobs

They did it to themselves like you said by selling junk for so many years which sent Americans looking for quality, reliability and good looking cars which they found with the import companies.

What year and models are the 3 cars you listed, I am sure you'd be surprised how much of them are probably made in Mexico or Canada.

Big 3 = LAME

Add in a serious lack of foresight in the last 10 years . . .

That said I kinda like the Ford Flex. I might check it out when I'm ready to buy, so who knows.

What about all of the people to shop at Walmart (yes and I'm guilty on occasion)?

The people who shop at Walmart are just as guilty of supporting foreign companies and manufacturing as people who buy foreign cars. I drive a German car, but don't shop at Walmart, so I'm even. ;)
