Man, Murdock hit the nail on the head (but no cheese?!?, seriously???
)....U.S. stuff looks good compared to most foreign stuff, then you start taking it apart and see how much more well built most foreign stuff is. Trust me, I had a Cavalier and a F-150 and my sis had a S-10, and I have a Nissan now and also a Civic. Not only are most foreign cars built better, but they last longer and are more efficient, etc. Case and point: one book I had read said how a Honda rod looked just like a Cavalier rod, but looking closer the Chevy rod was just a hair longer and fatter where it wasn't needed (even though the displacement of both were the same) and therefore Chevy had to put more meat on the top of the block, then raise the hood height, etc. Per car it ended up being like $150 extra, but just like you said Frankie, look how many Cavy's are on the road....dassa lotta doh! That's not to say I would buy a Tundra over a F-150 for towing. Same goes for the tire. Just buy from a company that makes a better product, not just because they're made in the U.S. Is that still not enough to back up a "myth....hearsay?" Irony: writing this while the Camry commercial in the backround says "When does the best selling car in America...." Haha.
I will say this though, Chevy sure has gotten that LS push-rod motor right. Suprisingly effiecient and still makes hosspower and all that "Made in U.S.A." torque, haha.
German auto electronics, as well as their overall mechanical build, are wayyyyyyy to complex. Why go from A to J to R then back to B when you can just go from A to B? That's the only real thing killing their top notch build quality. That stupid wire controlling the windshield below 50-degree 1/2" or below-sized hail sensor rubs up against the left front tire center tread depth temperature sensor wire and shorts out. And then you can't find the short because it's under a thousand other wires. Who needs 140+ computers in one single car!?!?!?! A street car ain't a racecar!
And we all can't move over to Japan....they're already too full......and that's why I'm moving to Korea, bwahahahahahahahahaha!!!
Mmmmmmmm......the internet......can I have that with cheese?
