I'm sorry ME2 but this is pretty lame. There are too many different US and foreign auto companies to make this generalization. I'm sure you can cite examples of what you are trying to say but there are many examples of cars that fit the description larger body lines, more sway, less control that are made by non US companies. That sounds to me like you are describing most of Toyota's lineup. Look, I'm not trying to start some kind of flame war or anything like that but I really have a problem with your last statement. With the economy the way it is and so many US citizens without jobs why wouldn't people want to try and help by buying local. I don't accept the argument about quality anymore. I guess it is all good while WE have a job right?

I have to disagree. I believe its that they dont design and assemble cars well enough (as a whole) is what got them into trouble. As an example, many cars manufactured in the past 5 years still only being good in a straight line with inadequate braking and cornering abilities in comparison to the rest of the world market. Never mind being less fuel efficient. Larger body lines, more sway, less control, ugg. I grew up on street racing American muscle cars as a non-seat-belted passenger in my father's hot rods, racing light-to-light old-school style. I love the Camaro's and Mustang's he owned, as well as the ones I did when I became of age. But I have no interest in buying American anymore. Its mostly inferior tech and parts. And I dont buy inferior. -- ME2 On Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 3:02 PM, Kurt Buff<kurt.b...@gmail.com> wrote: > 2009/6/25 Michael B.
