Audi

[Glenn]

I drive a German car, but don't shop at Walmart, so I'm even.

Well now I'm confused! I always shop at Wal-Mart and we own a German car. But I most always take the Jeep to Wal-Mart because it can haul more stuff.

What was this thread about again?

I still think Audi makes a helluva car.

Is it okay if I drive a German car to Walmart to buy Mexican food??

Agree that Audi makes a hell of a car! (atleast whenever I get to drive my wife's Q7)

I hope you lose your jobs. :flag:

Great idea! Then I could spend more time
skiing!

Only if Mexican food is made in America ;-)

Sorry you lost your job, that sucks.

Falling asleep???? Nah, the Big Fat 3 FELL asleep years ago.

Didn't lose my job. I'm good.
Ford and chevy are making better vehicles then the imports now, but if you want to be on the wrong side of history just continue hating your own country.
And before you say "I don't hate my country" tell me again what kind of cars you think suck?
Big buisness runs the world-soon we won't have any.
Foreign investment is great. where does the profit go? to make a road in america that plays a song when you drive over it?

I'm glad you didn't lose your job---why all the hate then for those who don't drive around a "bow-tie"

I'm a lover not a "hater"--nuff said

I don't determin what cars "suck", ALG does. Why do you think you can't lease on of your "kick-ass american made cars".They ain't worth anything......if you think they are you're seriously fooling yourself.

Last 2 American brand cars I bought...

1986 Chrysler Laser - Fast car but a POS, something broke each month that cost a car payment to fix
1993 Ford Exploder - Most features in an SUV at the time, but another POS...cracked head gasket at 15K miles, by 120K miles something broke each month that cost a car payment to fix, was starting to burn excessive amounts of oil (>1 qt/1000 miles)by that time as well

Last 4 Japanese brand cars I bought...

1987 Honda Civic - Ran great, no problems, only traded in because I wanted an SUV
1990 Acura Integra - Ran great, biggest problem was a bad mster cylinder at 70K miles, only traded in because I wanted an AWD car
1998 Subaru Outback - Still own, runs fine at 170K miles, did have the head gasket problem at 120K miles and some usual repairs for a car that's 11 YO
2001 Toyota Highlander - Still own, runs great at 151K miles, have had a few annoying repairs at over 100K miles but not something breaking every month, keep up on the oil changes as insurance against the sludge buildup issue but have seen no problems

My experience with Japanese brands has been, by far, much better than with US brands. Would I go back with a US automaker? Maybe...but it would take some convincing to do so...

+1 Sorry thor that you got burned in teh job market that's really unfortunate

But quality AND consumer TRUST and confidence are VERY difficult to REGAIN once they are breached .

The past 3 DECADES the history of THE BIG THREE is ABYSMAL on those scores. It has only been the past year or two where the BIG THREE gave a damn about anything except themselves. their individual and collective GREED

SO imo they can go suck an egg as far as i'm concerned UNLESS /UNTIL they demonstrate the CAN consistently EARN BACK our business with the right quality at the right price with teh right performance results .

Ps i was burned by FORD GM and Chrysler during my lifetime so i say this from personal experience .I quit buying JUNK after 1972

 

[thorski]

Well my 97 ford f150 is now at 149,000+ and still runs everyday for work. only routine maintenance. shocks, brakes, normal wear items.
The people who would come back are the ones who can turn the economy around.
If half the people going to buy a new car now bought american then the economy would turn around quick.
As for the pessimists who don't believe keep buying foreign. it's alot easier to pick out the guys who like fish sticks.

In reply to the original post...

Good luck selling your Audi...I've test driven the A4 and it's a nice ride, but I'll be in the market for a car that's only a few years old at most...

My mom died in 1986 about 10 years AFTER your argument ceased to make sense for the consumer as far as teh BIG 3's QUALITY and relevance is concerned

Have a nice day

PS I don't buy fish sticks they are "mystery" food and have zero value for people much like the Quality of the Big 3

Have a nice day
