American Muscle...Made in Canada.

that has national health care .....

SmoothZ

and takes weeks to get MRI's or cat scans and shyt..... lived there, done that, know about all the BS behind national health care. they still pay for it through income tax, and you have to pay for the health card out of pocket.

Also.... they have a quota system. When I lived there, a doc had to see so many patients a year and they all made the same money. Boom! Meet your quote 3 months before the year is over? You get yourself a nice vacation and tell your patients 'buh-bye.' See you next year!

Not quite.... doctors bill out per client to Medicare. They don't all make the same money. Were you in Canada or Russia?

Regardless of your finacial well being, race, colour or creed all Canadian's are entitled to equal care. That means the single mom with three kids can still get the medical care she requires. That's while paying roughly the same income taxes as her equivalent in the USA. So in fact in the USA YOU are paying out of pocket. Granted the wealthy can get quicker medical care in the USA than your average Canadian who may be required to wait for non-emergency care.

Let me see how the US system works. I have a serious medical condition but my particular health insurance provider does not agree with the diagnosis and hence does not honour my claim. Result? Increased profits at the expense of my good health! Not true you say? Well, neither are your observations about Canadian medicare. But I will give you a fact: all +30M Canadians can walk into any emergency room, at anytime, anywhere in Canada and get to see a doctor regardless of how serious their condition is. Yes, our taxes pay for this burden but I don't have a problem with that. Neither do the citizens of most western European countries and their free health care. Sorry for going off topic.

So the bottom line is....

Cars are made everywhere. Whatev's.. regardless, not too much can be done (without proper leadership getting off of their a$$'s) about the state of our countries manufacturing market.

I vote we all get Vespa's and hang out in poetry coffee houses.

While it may seem trivial, GM's claiming that the Camaro is an American Muscle Car....yet it's not made in the United States. I mean, if you consider American to mean the North American continent, then sure...even then that's kind of sly.

Yeah but the aim of American advertisting has ALWAYS been to pull the wool over our eyes and pretend that we live in a "utopian" society where all of our own sh!t is better because it's "American". Nothing new here.

The bottom line here is the almightly dollar (I use the term "allmightly" loosely in this case). As long as we (Americans) are a money driven society, this will always be the case. Unfortunately it has very little to do with pride anymore and everything to do with greed.

I don't really have anything against any car manufacturer. Honestly, cars to me have been getting uglier and uglier over the past decade. They make the headlights bigger and goofier by the minute. Soon enough, the front end of cars will just be a big headlight.

I'm a sexy car kind a guy. Give me a 1998 Vr-4 brand new... and I'll take that over a Z even, just cause it looks soooo dammmmmnnn gooood!

All cars to me nowadays are crap. I even like the old 300zx better than the new Z...

BMW went downhill when they hired an American guy to design the new series...

The Lexus RX300 which was a very sexy car in 2004 looks like a rich bitch wife car now.

The 1996 Chrysler Concorde LXI that had finesse and good lines turned into a big bumble bee piece of crap that looks like a bathtub on wheels.

The 90's Eclipse was nice.. then the next to models are ugly.

Man... it's depressing what happened to cars in the past decade or so. So, what I'm trying to say is screw all car manufacturers for making all these ugly cars that I don't want to buy!
