Im so sick of this global economy BS, and this goes way beyond cars. Look at the toy recall! Or all the food scares! Its time that people start making the effort to keep it our money here. It might cost us a couple more bucks, but in the long run it would be worthwhile.
Nah dude...I agree but some of the arguments here go back to who's gettin paid to build the cars (the workers end)....and the point is that our F-bodies which this club and site are built around weren't built by american workers....now I'm not saying buy japanese or european or whatever...I'm all for buyin american....actually may end up trading in the dakota for a G6 or Cobalt...dakota+119 miles round trip = lots of $$$$ for gas...LOL.

and besides....it's not like she's the only one on this board that owns a "foreign" car...hell some people don't even own (or have never owned) an F-Body but are regulars here.....I'm sticken up for her because she's my friend but also because like all these people that feel the need to hammer her with their opinion because it's their right to do so....she has just as much right to buy the Honda...if they don't like it they should buy her an american car.
