The import owners hear similair things all the time. The posts that I took offense to was when you compared the imports/domestics by using a single point of reference; a HP value. It’s just a horrid comparison. The Pinks comment by Boosted was priceless though. 🙂 ---

It’s stupid to argue about where a car is assembled. It’s just sheetmetal and some fasteners. It doesn’t matter if it’s Japanese, German, American, Korean or Chinese. The debate should be about the car’s intended design purpose and a measurement of the quality of engineering that allows it to fulfill that purpose. i.e. mid 90’s Toyota Corolla. Designed to be an economy commuter car with low maintenence costs. From an engineering, sales and customer reputation standpoint, it’s right on target. Toyota supra. Designed to be a high power high end halo sports car. From that end and from competition results and powerplant abilities, it’s right on target. ---

Imports are re-building monthly so finding a buyer is easy. ---
