Consumer Reports: Toyota ranked most reliable

I would like to add some food for thought. I am currently serving in Iraq. A couple of years ago two new vehicles were rushed to the battle field to protect us from ied's. These trucks were designed and delivered to the battlefield in a little over a year. They are produced by Force Protection, and International using mostly mass produced parts bolted to an armored body.(Allison Transmissions, Cummings Engines, Etc.)You may have heard of these in GM and Dodge pickups. There are thousands of other standard parts thrown in to build these mine resistant vehicles. This can be done because we still have a auto manufacturing industry in our country. Now I've owned some very good American made vehicles. I've also owned some not so good American vehicles that I wouldn't buy again. But I know we can never put ourselves in the position of having to ask a Korean or Chinese company to produce a truck to protect the next generation of American servicemen.

Changing your screen name is your right as an "American".
Believing that no-one will notice is plain silly.

It is selective memory, no doubt.
And these are not very cognizant people who base their opinions off of emotion alone. I think those that 'get' what you're saying are already there. Those who obviously do not- will , most likely, refuse to ever make that trip

Its absolutely 4 sure That the American people surely do not listen to a traitor piece of **** such as you.
You would purchase a vehicle made in Iran if it were cheaper, You have no loyalty to your own country.
You will be so screwed when Toyota Honda Nissan are a thing of the past
and you know what...I will be smiling and ever so happy That the good and real American people took their country back from people that sold it out like you

You're so ridiculous that I cannot believe it-
It has been like shooting fish in a barrel.
I'm now embarassed for you.
My historic home is filled with American made furniture and crafts- especially American pottery. I collect Art by great American Artists- Woodstock Impressionists are my favorites. I dine and shop at local, versus corporate shops whenever possible. I buy american made microbrews by the case(not your coors lite, Millerman). Heck , even my retriever is the American field style, versus the english type (although I love that blocky brit head!)
How much of what you own from shopping at of the XMarts was made in China?
It all is, bucko- it all is, indeed.

Still didn't answer the question about all your '
made in China junk.
Of course we have choices- I make them everday, with my brain- oh, forgot, you don't have one of those.
No hurt feelings, I actually think and emotions do not come into it.
you are a sad , sad, little person.
Wave your chinese american flag while you wait for the tow truck to come when your Ford breaks down.
Most like you called them on a japanese designed, korean built phone.
The parts that built the network that carried that call? foriegn.
The petroleum for the pavement you'll be waiting on- foreign.
The wife-beater you'll be wearing- made in China.
The bad country CD you bought at Walmart- china.
I can hear the national anthem again- blasing from your chinese boom box
