unamerican for buying Toyota cars?


People say it’s people like me who buy Japanese cars is why American businesses are failing.They say “Save my job,buy American!” I know why they are saying that,but Toyotas are a damn good car,and almost everybody I know who has American cars have nothing but trouble with them.My Corolla is a 2001 and no rust,paint looks like new, has had minor repairs for the most part,nothing major besides needing a new A/C compressor.My old car,I bought it when it was 10 years old,it was a 1988 Olds Cutlass,and already needed a new radiator,fuel tank,suspension work,and already had rust repair done,then needed more,then it needed a new engine at only 90,000 miles!My Corolla has 130,000 miles,and still runs like brand-new,looks new,and the resale value is much higher,but why would I sell it?It’s been the best car I’ve ever owned.I will NEVER buy another American vehicle! They are JUNK! It wouldn’t break my heart at all if GM,Ford,or Chrysler went under and Japanese makes took over the plants,in turn putting American workers back to work building Toyotas and other Japanese makes in American factories.I think the big 3 will be history in another 5 years,especially with OBUMMA in office!car companies will not thrive in the USA because he will raise their taxes so high that cars will only be made in Japan.That’s the reason there are no American jobs anymore,it’s not because of people buying foreign makes.

    they r just being dumasses. the reason that american car companies are doing so bad rite now is that they suk ass. companies like toyota and honda have cheap reliable cars that will last 20 years no problem so its obvious y they r better. why wud u waste ur money on a piece of crap just because its made where u live?

    I for one, was a dye hard “buy American” guy….at one time. Now, it’s hard to argue the fact that foreign cars reign supreme in the auto industry. American manufacturers have had their heads up their a$$’s for so long now that they just can’t compete anymore. They’ve got a lot of catchin’ up to do if they ever want to come close to the reputations of manufacturers like Toyota, Honda, etc..etc.. They can’t blame the consumer for the plant closings and job loses just because they want something that’s going to last and for the manufacturer to stand behind when something does go wrong! They’ve done it to themselves and I don’t feel sorry for them one bit! Now let ‘em catch up!

    Nice rant till the part about Obama, seems you did not notice whose watch the automakers and the whole economy got into this mess, I guess the last 8 years of tax cuts and deregulation, had a really positive impact on the automakers and the economy?

    Toyota’s are good cars but I like GM I have a 92 buick gs with 617000+ miles on it 1 new alternator and tune ups. the reason the big 3 are failing is the unions IMO.

    Toyota trucks are made in San Antonio, TX.
    Buy USA and keep your job.

    Besides, there’s a good chance your Corolla was built in Fremont, California. (North American Corollas come from Fremont or from Cambridge, Ontario.) You’ve probably saved several American jobs already.

    No it is people who still by Fords, Chrysler’s and Chevrolet’s who are un American. These are companies which make junk cars, sell them at inflated prices, and then steal from the American taxpayer. In order for our economic system to work a consumer has a responsibility to buy the best product at the lowest price. Buying an American made car does not meet this requirement. It just makes a person look stupid. Every time I see a poor soul in an American made car I think to myself they are either naive or just plain stupid. They could buy a Toyota which will last forever or buy a Ford that is lucky to last one year and they bought the Ford. Makes a lot os sense. Then these same American auto companies have the nerve to beg the gov’t for a bailout. Well I say starting now it is ANTI AMERICAN to buy from any company which steals from the American taxpayer. Enough is enough. Buy a Toyota!!!
    When you do buy a car make sure it is made in Japan. Do not understand why Toyota thinks it is good business since to devalue their cars by have them made in the US. Please note most if not all Prius’s are made in Japan. When I buy any product i avoid products made in China or the US.

    Well my best childhood friend’s dad was a labor attorney and they stuck with American cars till the mid 90’s when it really didn’t matter since most foreign cars are built in America by American people. However most of the parts are make out of the U.S. You call these days..
    BUT hey you could buy the new 2008 SSC Ultimate Aero its all American designed and built! AND its the current record holder for the fastest car.
