Buy American?

[Inspector71]

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.

................ and back to the OP's original comments, most everyone here are car enthusiasts and understand the "global" reality of where parts are sourced from, where different makes and models are assembled, etc. It is really sad when some ignorant fool wants to damage you or your Z because you didn't "buy American", when so many imports are assembled in America, while that "American" vehicle they are sporting around was built in Mexico.

I've actually sat in that interior and trust me it doesn't compare to the quality you get in BMW/Mercedes/Audi. That shiny black plastic on the center console is just terrible, the plastic in the 370Z feels better than that crap.
