this is my problem with this whole argument......quoted from that site

[img]http://In an increasingly global auto industry, the distinction between domestic and import brands is somewhat less useful than it once was.

Auto parts and components can be sourced around the globe and among those automakers counted as import brands are those currently owned by Ford, such as Volvo, Land Rover and Jaguar, as well as Saab, a unit of GM[/img]

thats exactly what ive been saying. for the most part there ARE NO true imports and domestics.

Ferrari is still an import. Most of the M series BMW's. Lamborghini, Bugatti, Aston/Jaguar now that they are no longer majority-owned by Ford. Lotta the Euro stuff is still imported. And technically, I consider the GTO at least a partial import. But that just makes the whole argument confusing.

Anyone who says that one country/region makes better cars than all other countries/regions is an idiot. Cars should be assessed and appraised on an individual basis, accounting for how well the car meets it's design goals. This argument of domestics vs. imports comparing DSM's to Corvettes is the stupidest waste of internet space I've ever had the misfortune of reading.

This thread sucks.

And the big picture from your own article...


You're right. The arugement should be dumbestic based companies vs international companies. Where the cars are actually manufactured is of little significants. The real issue is in the manufacturer's quality controls and their approach to business. On which the dumbestic based companies are sorely behind the rest of the world.

Then GTFO and don't read it. No one is forcing you. The only thing gayer than an import vs dumbestic debate is the retard that willingly spent two hours reading through it and proceeds to bitch about it.

The arguement isn't even about import vs dumbestic. It's about showing a clueless idiot how truely clueless he is.

One month a trend does not make. You still lose.

AWDstylez

No kidding, but you're the one using one month sales figures to say how amazing GM is in spite of last YEAR'S sales figures. So you basically just shot yourself in the foot.

If it takes you two hours to read through this one thread, you should not criticize the intelligence of others.

The biggest idiot is the one bitching about something he voluntarily subjected himself too.

klyph

More idiotic than comparing a DSM to a Corvette?

Not my fault my car is faster... oh wait.. yes it is.
