I just got back from an Auto show here in Michigan... Im getting to like American cars..... I mean.. when i saw inside the Porsche and the Hyundai Azera.. it was high quality... but when I was sitting in the CHevrolet Corvette, pontiac GTO, Pontiac Solstice, Dodge Charger, I was suprised. Im getting to like American Muscle. Especially the Corvette.. its cheaper than the Porsche and the interior and exterior looks better.

You can look at it either way. They CAN be better. So can imports.

I like a few american cars. I just think the Mustang sucks. Good car, but 3/4 of americans own one...

yeah, american cars are pretty strong. but essentialy the difference is essentially the structure of the cars themselves. each have pros and cons. see... american cars cost more, are larger, and consume a lot of gas!! unless you can afford one and have over some $50+ per tank over to the gas companies (who are screwing us all over through this war) than you will get a fast, big, mean machine.

american cars do NOT, i repeat do NOT look as nice as european cars. american cars are so ugly, take the new chevy malibu for instance, the most hideous car i've ever seen next to the fiat multipla. what americans don't realize is that we don't need more of the same, we need innovations! instead they just keep making stupid ugly big cars and adding to the junk heap. that is the sole reason why i would never buy an american car... the new mustang in my opinion reminds me of one of those factories you see somewhere in the carolinas and georgia that smell really bad and ruin your nice trip to florida, many many pipes and lines pointlessly going nowhere, ending nowhere, boxes and imperfections, panel molds and indents looking like WWII jeeps, and i want to barf whenever i see one...

there is hardly a difference between hyundai and ford parts, they are just manufactured differently in different styles, sizes, and shapes. the value does lie in an american made car, but rdtiburon is here because we want to be different, and look good being different. the 2006 hyundai sonata and santa fe were both designed by germans in their brand new german plant! that's why you see a little bit of audi a4 in there...

that's my stance on this subject and i think it's always been like this.

chrissake, look at my signature!! i think that even my little doodle looks a thousand times better than that Peestang!
