Replying to: gagrice (Apr 06, 2007 7:32 am)  ). The foreign companies want us to know they make it here with OUR labor, not theirs. Small, cheap cars are on the fringe and companies can get away with importing them. Even Hyundai makes it's more expensive cars here.

Someone like me driving in the traffic we have here I seriously doubt I could get half that on a clutch in my daily drive. I had to replace my transmission at 160,000 miles, I had a Chevy that went almost 300K miles on the same tranny. that is until the guy who bought it from me "accidently" put it in reverse going 60 MPH.

Replying to: snakeweasel (Apr 06, 2007 5:51 pm) Keep in mind I have a $7,000 Toyota Corolla (that's what I paid for it) That amount of miles to me is a what you'd find on most ten year old cars, so the fact I had to replace the tranny at 160,000, I don't think is too bad. And damn, I drove that car hard. I tortured it with driving. 300 miles per day is too much for a car like mine. I have not had anything weird go wrong with the car, like brake manifolds falling off or water pump failing, or head gaskets blowing, etc...crankshaft suddenly falling, etc.. |

Replying to: snakeweasel (Apr 06, 2007 5:53 pm)  doesn't care about the quality of the cars they build for the U.S.A. market, for whatever reason. I don't really understand why. Just the idea that people are so heated about how well Lexus can compete with Mercedes and totally jumps over Cadillac says leaps and bounds about Lexus  in a positive way and leaps and bounds about Cadillac in a negative way. Lexus has only been around since 1990 (a mere 17 years) Cadillac has been around for 100 years and still can't compete I realize Lexus is actually Toyota, however their luxury division has only been around as we know it for 17 years. GM has been faced with serious competition for twice that amount of time and still can't compete --so it goes beyond the fact they make bad products...
