Once America starts producing decent cars I'd consider it. Right now Germany makes the best, so that's what I drive.... (And they have ALWAYS made the best, German engineering FTW!)
Ever seen those rude comments about Americans on youtube?

I find YouTube comments informative sometimes. They give you that unbiased 'man on the street' perspective. You just have to filter out all the noise.

In reference to a post from page one...
Actually, illegals from Mexico are going back to Mexico to get jobs. Illegal immigration is WAYYY down right now. I'm pretty sure that living in a prosperous country was a better thing for illegals and legals.
Most of those comments against Americans on Youtube read as reflections of the non-American person posting it, rather than of Americans themselves. Of course, the world compares all slices of culture to American culture because we are the benchmark. They watch our TV programs and generalize the celebrities they see as reflecting everybody in the US. Their comments about us are like those trashy newspapers that focus on the negativity surrounding otherwise nice celebrities, which again are a very small slice of the people in this country.
Everybody puts on a few pounds when they are happy, eh?
Hating haters is a waste of time. I have mantises to feed!

Oh, yes
our country is number one in many things, including:
millionaires
billionaires
military spending
firearm deaths
beef production
per capita energy use
C02 emissions
total and per capita municipal waste (720 kilograms per person each year)
hazardous waste produced
oil consumption
natural gas consumption
least amount of tax revenue generated
least amount of federal and state government expidenture
budget deficit
daily per capita consumption of calories
lowest voter turnout
political parties represented in the lower or single house
and the reason so many non-americans come here is to try to find a better life for themselves and their families, only to be paid minimum wage for back-breaking work most of us "americans" would never want to do.
Wow, america is just SOOO great, right?

I would agree with that statement 9 time out 10 but I live in the Metro-Detroit area about 20 mile out in the suburbs, so I see and feel the "Toyota" effect almost every day. We used to be called the Motor City by all, and now I think it's just plain old Detroit? But at least we're on a comeback as it would seem, so I feel I have the right to speak up about the heartbeat of America, no disrespect to you Peter.
And its not hate just concern about people's mindset(what will are kids and grandchildren have?)...hey have you seen Roger and Me by Michael Moore?I would agree with that statement 9 time out 10 but I live in the Metro-Detroit area about 20 mile out in the suburbs, so I see and feel the "Toyota" effect almost every day.
