Re: Come on people!! Buy American!!

its crazy bc a majority of toyota's are assembled in the US, with parts made in japan[.......I am the modern man!(I hope someone freaking gets the reference)]. I saw a toyota ad, where they were advertising toyota as an american car, which is really wierd, bc alot of times toyota portrays itself as a quality foriegn car.

If you want to go really foriegn go vee-dub,mercedes, mini and mg, aston martin lol, etc.

For those of you that do buy american, lets just say that they give you a horrible deal and you sign it, don't come back the next day and do what this guy does.

The hummer was just too low key for me.

Re: Come on people!! Buy American!!

I know plenty of people on both sides of the fence, however, I happen to own a Scion xB right now. I love my car. I used to have a 73 Eldorado, though. Now that car was badass! It was just kinda unreliable and a bitch to get worked on. However, I was sold on Toyota when I was riding with a guy I used to work with who had a Tercel with 360,000 miles on it. 360!!

I call them "Toaster Vans".




I owned a VW Jetta once and while it was great on gas and ran smooth with 125,000+ miles, it nickel and dimed me to death on stupid little repairs. The parts were anywhere from 3 to 5 times more than the same part on a domestic car...or more.

Since then I've owned all American cars and have had GREAT luck with them. My current Ford has over 100K on it and still running GREAT with only an alternator replacement since I've owned it...and my wife's Pontiac has 85K on it and has not had a SINGLE problem. She bought it with 8 miles on it.

The trendy thing to do is bash American, and the car magazines have jumped on the bandwagon, but if you take care of your American car...it'll be just as or MORE reliable than a foreign car and you'll save a ton of money on the maintenance and any repairs it may need.

I'll never buy another foreign car again.

But Hondas are made in Ohio!!! Yes, and while it may give Americans jobs, the profits still go back to Japan.

My fiancee test drove those and we both loved them. I was never a fan of the looks on the outside, but the inside was AWESOME. Great mileage and deceptive acceleration.

Re: Come on people!! Buy American!!

xA and xB are pretty ugly...however the interior of the xB is incredible. my buddy is 6'7", and his radio station has an xB for their remotes and such. he fits and has plenty of head room.

Re: Come on people!! Buy American!!

Auto industry is a small drop in the economy's bucket. It doesn't make sense to buy one nationality of car over another. You should just buy what you want; buying American for the sake of buying American doesn't do the country any good.
