American cars that... aren't

[grundlepunch]

A lot of the guys that I've talked to want to buy Toyota Trucks because they are built in the USA in NON-UNION plants.

win.. not over paid workers... and you get a truck that lasts

OK, so all that money, the profit, is being sent overseas, but the workers still have jobs, the workers still get paid and the US government still gets tax money, both on the manufacture and sale of the vehicles that these companies make. They don't have big land lines from China or Japan either, they are using Electricity produced by our power plants as well.

You make it seem like these companies are stealing money from us when they simply aren't. Industry is Industry, and no matter where the profits in the end go, you have to look at where the profits are made. Even if those profits find their way back to the Land of the Rising Sun, those profits can always come right back to us in forms of more plants that create more jobs for American Workers.

I'm curious to why you think this would be strange coming from me. I'm absolutely for a free market, especially during a time of economic crisis.

I think everybody knows that Dodge had a few cars back in the 90s (Stealth, Raider, Laser, Talon) that were rebadged Mitsubishis (3000GT, Montero, Eclipse)

actually the Diamond Star Motors (DSM) cars were all produced in Normal, Illinois by the United Auto Workers Local 2488. whoda thunk it
