No offence, Dragoneye, but it hurt me to read your comment, "Just because something is cheap, or "high quality", or the "best" doesn't mean it's a good purchase.(if not American made) That attitude is totally unfathomable to me. It implies we
can't produce as good a product and must settle for second best to compete in the world market, and therefore that we as a people must be inferior.
I know you made the comment because the playing field isn't level and I understand that. But that aside, the fact is, in a lot of cases we don't, or haven't, produced the best product, and damn it Americans shouldn't have to buy crap to keep us afloat, be it cars or socks. Level the playing field, sure, but don't whine about that until you're at least producing the best product you can.
What bothers me most is that we got into this situation to begin with. Regardless of export, import laws, etc., we're Americans, the world's melding pot, the best of the best. We
can produce the very best quality, and we never should have fallen behind anyone! Fortunately, it looks like the turning away from American made cars has woken us up and we're on the road to recovery...with a couple billion $ of help.
