Hey look its a dancing banana!

Just thought of something, that guy is from canada, he said all imports suck, wouldnt an american car be an import for him?

[Omega_5]

just a question, but do you guys fall into the same category as these guys he is complaining about (ricer)?
American cars aren't imports in canada, because about half of all 'american' vehicles are made in Canada. For example, GM has 2 factories in Ontario, 2 in America (i forget the exact location), and one in Mexico.
Think before you post please.

I drive an import (and proud of it), modified, but I wouldn't call it rice.

Hate to break it to you but every Honda for example isnt imported, there are plants here in the united states, there are 4 in Ohio. Therefore based on your ideas Honda is a domestic car, either that or GM would have to be an import if it isnt made solely in the US. If we want to get really technical about it, any car made by honda in the US originates in the US and therefore is domestic, any GM car made in canada or mexico would be domestic there, but if it is brought into the US for sale then it is an import. Think before you post please.

But it's still a honda pos. When i say American it means designed in america, with roots in america.

Honda has no roots in america. Up until that horrible movie, honda was laughed at by the North American people, then most of us turned into mindless ricers trying to be cool. lol.

Do you have any facts to base this on?

I might be wrong but I think honda was doing well in North America before "that movie" came out. And as far back as 1982 the Accord was on Car And Drivers 10 best cars list. Thats a few years before "that movie". Also from 1989-1991 the accord was the best selling car in the US, not too shabby for a car that was laughed at by north america.

The honda accord was, as stated in the article linked above, an economy car. It wasn't selling as a sports car. Japanese imports are pretending to be something that they aren't -> be fast.
I'm fine with Japanese imports being ecomony, fuel milage, cars. That is their place in society. Deal with it.

Opinions are like assholes, everybodys got one. Any car can be made fast, some people like imports others like domestics, get over it. Someones "place in society" can change with a little hard work and motivation.

I wonder how long until this thread gets closed...

i wonder if you actually read the article in the link?
any car can be fast, but if you invest the same amounts for cash in an american vehcile, and an import, the american will ALWAYS be fast in the end. In summary, american vehicles are can more effiently (in terms of money) make power. Any one with a mechanical background knows this.
If you want to argue, i can post an entire anaylitical report on the topic, which was approved for distribution by four technical colleges. The summary of the report had shown that American V8 engines can produce more power per modification per displacement than import I4's can. Why else do you think that domestics are switching back to V8's? (GXP, 300, Bonniville)
