[Mr. Wyndham]

You've got it, Alfie!!

I can't add much more to what you've said throughout this thread.

There's a bumper-sticker that says: "Out of a job yet? Keep buying foreign!"

When there's a choice, the domestic-'ness' of a company ought to be a major factor in the purchase decision, imo. Especially something as expensive as an automobile. But hey...I like to support my country's economy, call me crazy, or 'extremist' -- it's my opinion that too few have a sense of national identity anymore, and this is only a very small part of that. Everyone is so spoiled today and nobody seems to care about the consequences of their actions and I think it's awful. :(
