I'm going to get flamed for this:

AirBus planes are actually pretty nice. I had a chance to fly on a newer one a few years back. I was impressed.

That being said, I'm also a BMW owner. 1985 E28 535i. The car is just plain built better than most American cars. It's cheap to maintain and runs like a champ at 192k miles. Everything built in Europe is not inferior.

However, the new AirBus A380 is just plain overkill. Besides, we haven't even see the test flights yet!

True. For example:

Unlike BMW, Airbus is a disposable machine. Think IKEA.

Whatever you do, don't come and complain if you're laid off!
I prefer to by goods manufactured in U.S. when possible!!
That includes U.S. built autos!!!
