The New American Standard? To Have An Asian Car In The Driveway

Off course it's an Asian Car but it's built by an American workers in the U.S. No matter how you look at it, it's still an Asian car because it company originated from Japan that happen to have manufacturing plants in the U.S. make it cars here. But I can see and understand your point of view.

Not in my driveway...

All 4 of my Cars are American. I do not want to be squished like a sardine if I have an accident.

@Fijian,

stop living in the 70s bro. Japanese cars are some of the safest out there. And FYI, I deboosted ; ) I use to own American cars but not anymore after those nasty experience with Chrysler and dodge. And I own a Ford as well which is more reliable than the Chrysler and Dodge but still not as good as the Japanese cars.

Well Fijian... If you're going to have an accident. I don't think there is a car in the world that would help you.

Seems to follow the trend of the election. People are duped into what on paper looks good, only to find it can't perform (I.e. Camry, Sonata)

Sadly, it's now more patriotic to buy a Japanese car assembled in the US than it is to buy a UAW built American car. Seems counterintuitive to the uninformed, but unfortunately it's true.

Purchase a car from GM, Chrysler or Ford and you're enriching the UAW who turn around and support leftist politicians like Obama who are destroying the economy with unprecedented debt and weakening of US currency. The US auto companies will remain on an inexorable decline so long as the UAW remains intact and continues their political activism.

I will continue to purchase and enjoy classic American cars that don't enrich the UAW and their politician friends, but I will never again purchase a new UAW built vehicle.

@MBCLS07 Obama was chosen by the American people and the neo-cons can either accept that or crawl back into the cave where they've been dwelling anyway.

Holydude, your comment is typical of those on the left. Off-base and unnecessarily derisive. No one is refusing to accept that Obama won the election. As democrats demonstrated during Bush's presidency, losing the election doesn't mean the half of the country that didn't vote for the current president simply lays down and accepts the president's agenda. In fact, when the democrats were out of power they insisted that dissent was the highest form of patriotism. Suggesting that the rules change now that a Democrat is in the oval office is just a tad hypocritical, don't you think, Holydude? You may support the quid pro quo relationship between the democrats and the UAW that sees money spent on the purchase of domestic cars go to the UAW, which in turn goes to fill the coffers of leftist politicians. But you need to accept the fact that many of the nearly half of the country that voted against your candidate don't approve of their money going to leftist politicians and will adjust their purchasing behavior accordingly. It's our right whether you like it or not.

@ marykeana (about the the Accord Coupe being an American car because it is built in Ohio)...

BMW builds cars in China - for the Chinese market.

Does that make a BMWs in China... Chinese cars?

Ditto for Cadillacs being built in China. Are they Chinese cars, too?

Ghah!!! Inasmuch as I try, I can't avoid these threads that veer off the road onto the lawn of politics.

As long as it is not an oblamer Government Motors piece of crap car.

Whats funny is America builds a good competent car and can't sell them, but when we made the shittiest cars in the world from the 80's - 90's and up to the early 2000's they were selling like hotcakes. We must be Dyslexic here in America. the difference in quality between American and Japanese cars was freaking huge. interiors in American cars were so cheaply made it was ridiculous. They were outdated with pushrod engines while everyone else had dohc and variable valve timing. Then everyone else moved to 5 and 6 speed automatics and we still used 4 speeds.
