Coloken, I will beg to disagree. "He" is not us. I have never owned a vehicle built by a company with foriegn headquarters. I know my Chevy truck does have quite a bit of foriegn content, there's nothing I can do about that. At least G.M. is headquartered in the U.S.A. I used to work for a ball-bearing mfg. which is Japanese owned, we all worked together to make sure our product reflected our American pride. We turned out an excellent product, and we were meeting customer demands for a lower priced product simply by increasing our efficiency. Even though we constantly proved we could produce a quality product at a competetive price, we still got downsized, and I lost my job after being there for 21 years. My job, along with several others, got sent to China. The top dogs of the company explained that their customers no longer wanted quality, the only thing they were concerned with was price, and China could produce and sell ball bearings for a fraction of what the raw materials cost us, and, you guessed it, those bearings from China are for the most part defective in one way or another. America has been crying out for quality for many years now. Who is listening?
