Re: Why would you want to buy an NSX (Seriously)
Its not about where the car is built necessarly but rather where the proffits go. If an american car is built in mexico with 200 dollars worth of labor costs, that doesnt matter. The profits go to the united states primarily. If a japanese car is built here the cheap labor costs do not make up for the profits and R&D money going back to japan. the true jobs that run our economy are the engineering jobs in detroit and dont forget those corporate execs in detroit that reinvest back in the united states.
I don't blame ford copying the NSX, its a very very well built car. I just don't see why anyone would own one since you don't get the horsepower you should be getting for the near 6 figures it cost. Why reinvent the wheel? If there already is a nice car to copy off of, then do it, and make it better. Did you ever hear that the japanese learned everything they know about mass production assembly lines and automobile production from Ford. The Toyota founder also frequently visited the Rouge plant (dearborn michigan) in the 1950s and 60s. They took an already good idea and improved upon it. Then we took what they did and improved upon that and so on.
