This is disgraceful. The foreign car makers are getting rich from American dollars. We Americans are stupid enough to keep buying them, putting American money into foreign economies, while at the same time losing jobs here. Now the sickening foreign car companies are using American nostalgia in their commercials???? I for one am glad I missed it because I wave the flag of America, and I DRIVE AMERICAN AND I ALWAYS WILL NO MATTER WHAT. The notion of someone buying an Asian car is sickening. I know the usual half baked answer: "they are building them here"
WRONG ANSWER!!!!!!!! While the foreign car makers have put some plants here and supplied some jobs to American workers, they have displaced 15 times more workers than they have employed. This is not according to me, but this is according to the US government BLS (bureau of labor statistics as of 2004). I am sick and tired of seeing Japanese cars on the American roads as the PROFITS go to the Japanese economy! NOT the American economy!!!
One reason I collect gas and oil items is to keep some of the good old days of American history alive in some small way.
