    CB you know Mopar is a Bomma car too right?

    Gave half the company to the Union and Half to the Eyetalibans ...

    FORD is the only true USA company left.

    Ya know Ram is building nice stuff
    love a Challenger, the pickups look good

    But it's still a bomma vehicle.


    Toyota didn't take any bail out money
    has a lot of plants here people employed
    worked through the mess..

    I'd buy them over GM or Mopar they are more
    American Capitalist than those guys...

    Not me, never bought a Japanese vehicle and never will. Just couldn't get myself to do it. Owned nothing but Chevy or Ford and bought a new Dodge 2500 4X4 in 2007 and its been really good. We really like our 2010 Ford Taurus that we bought new. Life is good :D

    I've owned a few honda/acura/toy/lexus products. Everyone was rock solid.

    I'm just saying if the deal was better Id' get a toy over a gm or mopar..

    All the manufacturers have had there days, oversea vehicles were rot boxes in the 70- early 80s. The luck of the draw on any particular brand has become more of a personal choice as I see it. They are all junk when they need repair and show up on my doorstep. Very nice to visit to see VERRR'y cool stuff. Every manufactuer most likely has the same place. Would enjoy spending time there weather they made 2 or 4 wheels.

    I've always bought American made owned vehicles and they have all performed great, just take care of them properly. I will never by a new Japanese vehicle wether it was built here or there. All the profits from them go back to Japanese land and most all of them buy there parts from other Japanese owned companies. I probably would not by another Mopar because they are now owned by a foreign country. I also will probably not by another new car or truck.

    I hear you, FORD for me, just saying if yer choice was GM, MOPAR or Toyota

    Down here in retirement land. I find that 5-6yr old Caddies are great values. Garage kept, dealer serviced and driven by blue haired ladies, never over 45mph. And low milage. All the creature features and way less $$ than most new cars.

    Don't care like I said if it say Toyota or some other Japanese car I won't buy it. Ford, GM are building some very decent cars and trucks, so why by a foreign owned vehicle. I know you probably all think I'm just being stubborn but that's the way I've been about vehicles all my life and to old to change now.
    We went to the auto show and we looked at a few Japanese cars. Neither of us liked the Honda cars, or the Toys. The only Japanese car we thought was OK were the Mazda's. Didn't like the prices on none of the new pickups, man talk about sticker shock. I still won't buy another new vehicle again better to buy a years or two old one with low miles.
