Same thing with this comment. I would have agreed with you ten years ago. Not anymore. |

Why is it that everyone is so conscientious on where their car is manufactured but no one seems to care about where anything else is manufactured? Where I live, North Canton, Ohio, home of Hoover appliances. Hoover was bought by Maytag a few years ago. most of the jobs were moved to Mexico as they ran the company into the ground producing crap. It was recently bought by a company out of Korea who announced that it will be closing the North Canton facility.
No one seems to care where their Appliances, TV's, computers, etc. are manufactured. Why not boycott the manufactures of Appliances,TV's and computers that are not American? At least the Honda and Toyota are creating Jobs in America. |

I have to mention that a 1984 Toyota truck will rust away to nothing if you look at it wrong. My Tacoma on the other hand got driven through salt water (I move to the beach for 3.5 months in the summer) and not washed more often than not and I sold it with not one spot of rust. Truck was almost 10 years old at that point.
To the end of buying a $10K Ford vs a $13K Toyota, why spend $3k more all other things being equal? I might not...This fusion is a new beast, it could be comparable to a Camry...who knows. But if you're asking why I'd buy a 1996 Camry over a 1996 Taurus, I don't really think you can argue that Ford was putting out a top notch car at that point. |

2 things: I'm not PC at all, and I could care less, but I think "jap" is offensive. I lived with a Japanese kid my freshman year of college and he was a pretty cool guy...just one of the things I gathered was that "jap" isn't really a good word for them anymore. 2nd: Apples to oranges with the boats to cars thing...no one's arguing that Correct Craft isn't a good boat. No one's saying that the marinized SBC and Fords in our boats aren't good enough either. Talking about cars and trucks. Apples to oranges. That having been said, I know the outboard market is pretty well contested by Japanese makers. |

Agree to disagree...I can live with that...it ain't like it's a big deal, just a difference on opinions in cars and in reality, our $.02 really ain't gonna change the world.

Well said Randy, everyones bitching about their buying american cars, but noone really seems to say much about other things they buy, is your microwave american? how about your washer/dryer? Water Faucets in your house? Power tools?... exactly, lets it rest, the imports are competing with our big 3 and doing pretty decent to say the least, to me it kinda sounds like the same argument over & over... 5 pages & every other or 3rd post reads the same baseline.

Lets refresh this topic since the Americans can no longer can claim the largest corporation in the world...next to the government.. GM was so large at one time the government was going to step in to break them up because they were so large fearing control
and yes it is an argument worth repeating, let them build all the microwaves and power tools they can. this country was built on the automotive industry and has been fueled by it and it is stalling and i dont think anyone realizes the long term effects. this country is building great cars again and its time to re-evaluate the situation. If i can convince one person to change thier mind i would be satisfied |

Made in the USA ( I think ), and the new body style and 320 HP with 4x4 and tow package. Needed something to tow the 95 Nautique reliably.
