With parts coming from everywhere, does "Buying American" have much meaning anymore? Is quality and price the bottom line?

It means ur an idiot...fat, lazy & overpaid uaw junk, lead by ignorant ceo's who disregard what the consumer actually wants i.e. (good mpg, reliable & actually fun to drive vehicles that return a good resale value) ( they dug their own grave). Business is Business & I have no sympathy; which they consistantly try & pull that card. Buy American pffft...why don't u be a good american and quit ripping of american consumers w/ your crappy gas guzzlin cars. I would rather buy a 3yr old honda then a brand new ford or gm. I would never buy a dodge. had bad enuff exp. w/ fords. r-gue w/ me all u want resale values tell the truth. hopefully ford gets better I would buy but they just don't have what I want and I still don't trust their reliability. They r on the right track simplify k.i.s.s. take a page out of hondas book they have 8-10 vehicles and luxury brand acura w/3-5 vehicles that's it. ford needs to keep lincoln & mercury but don't keep the same vehicle and change the grill & dash a little. example focus & milan. make a focus ford exclusive make merc. sable exlusive get rid of taurus. no duplicates that is retarded. they also really need a good mpg car. y so many sedans too they're ugly, hot lookin hatchbacks are more versatile and sporty lookin' IMO. I live 20 mins. drive out of detroit( motown)so buy american. I say make a good car! then I'll buy it. until then I will enjoy driving my 09 honda odyssey ex & 09 scion xB! (loser car company = loser football team) GO LIONS!!!!0-16 american car companys in an enallage chopped all the trees down and forgot to plant new ones. you reap what you sow |

Replying to: corvettefan427 (Jan 03, 2006 5:12 pm) Ask Jeff Bridges to Take a Cue From The Boss and Stop the Hyundai commercials. From the Associated Press 01/31/09: “In an interview with The New York Times, Bruce Springsteen says he shouldn’t have made a deal with Wal-Mart. This month, the store started exclusively selling a Springsteen greatest-hits CD.” “Some fans were critical because Springsteen has been a longtime supporter of worker’s rights, and Wal-Mart has faced criticism for its labor practices. Springsteen’s team didn’t vet the issue as closely as it should have, and that he “dropped the ball on it,” he told the Times………”. Springsteen went on to say: “It was a mistake. Our batting average is usually very good, but we missed that one. Fans will call you on that stuff, as it should be.” I feel Jeff Bridges should bow out of the Hyundai commercials now and I encourage others to ask that he does so, and that he makes a formal statement to the press like Springsteen. Bridges is involved with the End Hunger Network, well liked and should set a better example. It’s time America stopped being Asia’s Landfill and it’s time Americans helped out.
