The big 3 just don't get it, nobody wants American cars.

Not just because of the name, but it depends on where the company is based from. Honda and Toyota will always be foreign cars even if the ones we buy are made here.

I think my next purchase will be a Fiat Punto. That way, every motorist will hate me.

I didn't see it coming a mile away but can't say I am shocked. If it looks like you won't get money as an auto MFG then try to get money under the financial institution umbrella lol.

define domestic and foreign. What is build where:crazy://content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

It based on where the company is based, not where the products are built. Just like there are foreign and domestic tool companies, foreign and domestic firearm companies. The location of final assembly has nothing to do with the classification. The classification is a legal one, not a practical one.

because of the name?
I mean the Nissan Titan is build right here in Tennessee, with good lold redneck labor. That to me is more domestic than a Ford made in Mexico.

We need to drop the global prospective on certain items and use our common sense, Keep America working first, then help the world. We can't all work in the Medical and Insurance industries.

GM still has more American workers then any foreign company. Just because final assembly of a Nissan Titan is done in Tennessee, doesn't mean anything. The money still goes overseas. An American car is still designed and developed in the US. When you buy an American car, the majority of that money stays in the US.

Over the last decade or two, american car manufacturers have been way behind the foreign scene, not a step behind but like ten, when it comes to innovation, extras, and reliability, the german market leads the way in terms of mainstream (im not talking about rolls royce and ferraris which the average guy cant buy), but the japanese market is right behind it and usually has the upper hand in cost control so they're able to deliver the same features at lower prices.

Rolls Royce's have GM transmissions.
