I loved my Nissan, of course it was built right here in the USA in Spring Hill, Tennessee.
So does that make it an American car of Japanese descent?
Or is it a Japanese/American car?
I truly despise my Mopar Mini-van of Mexican manufacture, and American badging.
I guess what I'm trying to get at is that a car is a car is a car.
Some are faster than others. Some will travel further on a gallon of gas, some are safer in accidents. A few even look good. To me, country of manufacture is not too terribly important. Will the durn thing start, and take me where I want to go?
To paraphrase the "Apple Jacks" commercial:
"We drive what we like."
If I was trying to impress you, it certainly wouldn't be with my '92 Escort, or my '89 Probe.
Neither is beautiful, but when you go out, get in, and turn the key, they both start. Both are also committed to getting me to my destination. I really like that in a car.
