Buy American?

Inspector71 · 11-06-2009, 10:05 AM

on a recent Sunday morning, I was behind a medium sized GM SUV while driving my Nissan. My daughter noticed the decal in the right corner of the rear window, the cartoon guy urinating on the word "Imports." In the left corner of the window was the gold and black decal of the UAW. I saw the large sized blond woman look at me in her side mirror as she flicked her cigarette into the street. She turned into Walmart and the incongruity of shopping there considering her decals seemed lost on her.

Now the real question is, is it one of the SUVs that were built at GM's Silao, Mexico plant.

Missouri.... probably the Arlington, TX plant

When they start making interiors that are not borrowing their quality from legos, i will get back to the american cars.

Just depends on how much you're willing to spend, rofl.

Yeah frost that interior is sick

Oh I forgot, you are right cadillac is an exemption, and I think lincoln has decent looking/feeling interiors as they are the higher brands. I guess I should be more specific, i meant like chevrolet and ford. Camaro for example, I am pretty sure the dash is made from the same material used in the tupperware in my fridge.

But you are right, I was just meaning like for the same price range, the z, the g, honestly even alot of mazdas have better quality then the american cars. ( and for the record I REALLY hope to own a cts v soon)

I was thinking navigator, as they are pretty nice inside I would say. Never sat in one, but looked pretty nice. I am just surprised with all the normal priced cars like the z for instance, chevrolet would step up their game and see that for a good price you can get a quality interior.
