I’ve had nothing against Japanese cars — but this conservative family has bought new American cars for the last few years (Jeep, Cadillac and Chevrolet Suburban.) They have just fit our need for space, comfort and safety, and we have been satisfied overall with quality. Every liberal I know drives foreign, and I agree with you that this move to nationalize GM and Chrysler will not entice them to change their ways.

To quote Scarlett O’Hara, “as God as my witness, I’ll never buy GM or Chrysler again!” I’ll be curious as to who will actually trust these ventures (and the government). The author of this article is nuts if he thinks GM and Chrysler are now more attractive! To whom?

My dad, who will be 93 next week, is still pissed at the Japanese for Pearl Harbor. He is the last person anyone would imagine driving a Japanese vehicle or voting for a democrat.

But when he helped me move to NC from Arizona in my brand new Toyota Tacoma 4x4, the first thing he did when he got back home was sell his car and buy a Toyota Sienna. Mom was next and has had a Honda ever since. (My ultra-liberal sisters drive GM cars and SUVs.)
