I still find it funny that a real "American" truck like the Ram is assembled in Mexico, while "import" trucks are assembled in the heartland of America.

The construction of which provides wages/benefits/employment to workers in other countries. Shall we trade off corporate proifts against American jobs? As I (and many others) have said before, the fact that a small slice of profits makes it's way back to corporate bean counters in Dearborn is irrelevant to the average American worker.
Face it, there are very few "American" cars anymore, in the strictest sense of the term. Nor are there many purely "Japanese" cars. Collobaration, outsourcing of parts, joint product development etc. all point to the need for an increasingly global perspective.
We've discussed this at length. See one of more interesting threads here: http://forums.bradbarnett.net/index....topic=4963&hl=

Irony: An expression or utterance marked by a deliberate contrast between apparent and intended meaning.
I'm thinking the rolleyes bit isn't as effective as I had thought.....perhaps the board needs some more blatant sarcasm smilies.

Just out of curiosity;
Since many "imports" *cough* are built and assembled in American plants by American workers, do you consider them to be less American just because they are owned and designed by "foreigners"?
And what does that do to the argument of "outsourcing" jobs when, in fact, it's the other way around for many mid-range and premium brands?
