American Muscle...Made in Canada.

kannibul · 12-01-2009, 02:16 PM

I saw the episode of Mega Factories, and they covered...the Camaro...which is made entirely in Canada.

I sincerely hope that the next one of us that has to deal with some douchbaggery from the Camaro crowd that says something like :buy american: help them understand that saying generally means United States of America, and not North / Central / South American, and kindly inform them that their car is made in a foreign country as well.

Just some food for thought...

That is absolutely right. The Camero is made in Canada and as far as I know so is the new Dodge Challenger as well.

Mercedes divorced them in the beginning of the year. In early summer FIAT became 60% owners of chrysler. They are supposed come out with a new slew of compact cars in 2011.
I know they are cancelling the magnum and are considering either the 300 or charger. Crazy!

The magnum has been gone for a couple of years, I believe.

I saw the same episode. Kinda funny haha

Inspector71 · 12-01-2009, 03:12 PM

I am still laughing about the woman I saw in the American made mini-van a few Sundays ago. She was a large blond woman puffing on a smoke. In the right rear of the window was the cartoon guy urinating on "IMPORTS" In the left rear was a black and gold UAW sticker...and then she turns into Walmart. I used to buy American, mostly Chevies but, after so many mechanical problems, I said no more. I still have some American cars but they are from the 1960s. I laugh when people argue that buying an American car somehow makes them more patriotic than me.

Well, it's in my personal opinion that I will not buy a vehicle from a company that pays a guy $30/hr to sweep floors.

And they wonder why they have to have a money-back guarantee now?

As of today I would never buy a car from Mexico since that country still isn't known for quality cars just yet. The VW Jetta diesel is made there. Which is too bad since I like that car. All the previous VWs made in Mexico were full of problems galore. I should know because my friend had a VW newbeetle from there and it was put together improperly. As a matter of fact after it got hit in an accident, the body shop put the side view mirror back on the correct way compared to before when it was brand new. So they went ahead and fixed the other mirror as well.

Yet, not everybody follows my example. The other year the best selling car in Canada was a Mazda 3 which is made in Mexico. It's a popular car in Canada because of the cheap starting price. Making it more competitive with other cars.

Link for that statement? Just because you know one guy who had a problem with one car you label the entire industry as faulty?
