The UAW is not happy.

BUY AMERICAN

America first.

[Huck]

Every American vehicle I’ve ever owned was garbage. All the Jap cars I’ve owned have been great. We currently drive Nissan Xterra, Subaru WRX, and Mazda Miata. Love them all. Very solid, reliable vehicles. All fun to drive and good-looking. All get good gas mileage.

Who owns CR?

[riverdawg]

In the 1980s, CR was late to realize that the quality of American designed and built cars was rapidly falling behind Japanese designed and built cars. Recently, CR has been late to realize that the quality gap between US-branded cars and non-US-branded cars is rapidly shrinking. Part of this is due to the fact that the design, engineering, and assembly of cars is now an interconnected, global enterprise. Because of this, big quality differences between different “brands” (adjusted for price, of course) will largely disappear.

As Mrs. B likes to say: “All cars should be German, and all men should be American.”

I got a 2011 Mazda6 this summer. Love it! Great riding car, great gas mileage, comfortable, roomy. AND it was built in a Ford factory in Detroit by American workers, making American dollars. But 2012 will be the last year they’re built here.

Buy Škoda!

Currenly own a Honda Ridgeline (the pickup truvk with a trunk) and a Hyundai Genesis 3.8 Coupe.

The Ridgeline is the wife’s vehicle. She had an accord and decided she wanted something a little bigger and more utilitarian. The Ridgeline rode a million times better than the Ford Sporttrac and also blew away the smaller Nissan and Toyota pickups.

I traded my one year old 2010 Ford Mustang GT on the Genesis. The Genesis has the full ‘Track package’ on it and has the same horsepower, comparable performance (slightly slower off the line, but almost 20 MPH higher top end), nimble handling, every creature comfort known to man, and about 5 MPG better mileage. I loved the Mustang, but I am 50 now and the ride was just beating the absolute hell out of me, it was so stiff and rough my wife got to where she refused to ride in it.

Own a 99% Japanese-made auto, a Mazda RX-8. Sadly, they won’t be making any more after the 2012 models (discontinuing the rotary engines). Too bad, it’s a nice sports car with a very different power curve...
