There are, however, instances where the vehicle is engineered, designed, and built in the USA (e.g., Toyota Avalon).

I knew I would see some replies like this.
 
My concern is that money goes to which headquarter office and who controls that amount of profit. For example same American workers, but different bosses, to me it is a big difference; Getting paid by an American boss is different from a Japanese, there are also many other aspects would be affected by that....When amount of money belongs to someone and in his pocket, it doesn't matter where he is traveling to.

Also keep in mind that if you use regular gas you will also loose gas mileage. But what is critical since the XT is a high performance engine you may damage the turbo and you could void the warranty.
 
I have owned a 2001 Forester and you will discover it is a solid well build vehicle. IMO it has one of the best AWD systems in the industry. Just ask any of the members on this board that owns a subaru what they think.
 
best of luck to you on your choice.

The topic is comparing crossover SUVs. We are not comparing political theories, imports vs. domestic or pet conspiracy theories. Let's stick to the designated topic.

Might comparing them take into account who they were designed and built by? Patriotism is a motivation for people comparing vehicles. Granted, product attributes may be the deciding factor for some who just don't care. People need to make up their own mind about who they want to buy a product from, regardless of pressure from people who pretend the world is simple and level.

That may be so but patriotism is still not the topic here. I think most people know where the cars are being built and can weigh the domestic versus import factor for themselves. Clearly, there may issues regarding who is building the vehicles, say Toyota vs. GM vs. BMW but the issue here is not Japan vs. U.S. vs. Germany etc. It's CUV vs. CUV.

Also, this is the World wide web, not the America wide web.
