Re: Food For thought - North American Vs. Import

Oh abseloutly. I am proudly Canadian, and I would rather drive a car built in the United States, and see the profits return to the American economy, then see money poured into someone else's country. Such as the case of the Allison Honda Plant in Ontario. Support Canadian built Hondas. Yes I do agree. It has created many jobs within Canada, but the big bucks still go back to Japan.

Its just funny how all the major names such as consumer reports, Road & Track, motor trend, etc... all applaud the quality of import vehicles. Oh my, it will last forever, its a toyota, its built well, the materials are higher quality... Blah blah blah!!

J.D. Power and associates survey the customers after set periods of times and find that imports are no better, and in some cases even worse, but of course the big magazines all praise the imports. Bull **** I say.

Ill stick with my Chevy thanks. Lets see.. My fully loaded malibu cost $24,596. Base Honda Accord with an automatic.. $26,000? And the Base Toyota Camary cant be that far behind. People are paying foreign countries more for a vehicle that is of equal quality to the competition, offers less then its competition, and a warranty that is less then the competition.

Are people just loyal to import cars, or just very stupid?
