I'm sorry but I had to join into this forum on this SUPER misinforming comment.
GM and ford are world markets. Invested in companies from mazda to rolls royce n volvo, jaguar, saab, opel just to name a few. Most american cars today are either designed in korea, australia, germany or are conglomerate designs that are multi national.
And lastly. THE CORVETTE IS BUILT IN ONTARIO, CANADA.
MY NISSAN ALTIMA IS BUILT IN ALABAMA, USA!
And furthermore. The 370z was built in japan BUT,
IT was fathered and designed right here in the USA.
The new corvette refresh of 2005 was done by italian designers.
That buy american stuff worked in up until around 1978, then the auto market began to slowly globalize. And today. The auto industry almost doesn't have a country. The only thing that america has been responsible for is turning beautiful american concepts into plastic ridden junk interior cars with suspensions that are often wayyyy too soft for any serious performance. (With the exception of heritage cars to a small degree)

Apathy like I see in this thread towards American automobiles is what lead us to where we are today in terms of "our" cars being outsourced around the world....
I am not willing to give up what little is left......
Where do you think the real money aka the profit from Asian manufacturers goes?
You guessed it. right back to their home Country!
Do you think that there is a level playing field when we try to sell our cars on thier soil?
Not a chance they load them up with taxes and tarriffs making them cost prohibitive...
Screw em...
I will NEVER buy a Asian built car!
PS..
I was not for the bail outs and I do not have any affiliation with an American auto manufacturer..
