with all the globalization going on with car companies these days, would you still buy a mustang if ford assembled them oversees???

 

Not gonna happen, at least for 9 years B)

 

Already been asked buddy!

I remember a poll about this before, the resounding answer was NO!!

 

Didn't someone already ask this? And no, because it wouldn't really be a Mustang. It would be a "Monaro" with Mustang badging.

 

yeah, the original poll was around at the same time as "if it wasn't called Mustang, would you still buy it" or something like that

 

If it was the same exact car, just built in a different country, what difference would it make?

 

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.

 

Yep, Toyota Tundra is built in SW Indiana and they are building a second plant near San Antonio.

 

heck no I wouldn't buy any of that import crap. My family drives AMERICAN cars all the way. Like my sister's Focus (made in Mexico) and my old man's Z28 (Canada).

how many times we gonna resurrect this stupid argument?

 

ummm, it would still be a Ford.

 

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=

 

Certain parts of my 05 were built in Canada, i.e: Rear Spoiler.

 

 

I was just confused by your post. You said your family buys American cars built in other countries, but you wouldn't buy a Ford Mustang built in Canada or Mexico? That doesn't make any sense to me.

I'm thinking the rolleyes bit isn't as effective as I had thought.....perhaps the board needs some more blatant sarcasm smilies.

 

Nope

 

40+ years of "American" heritage in the Mustang....... (end of argument) 'Nuff said

 

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?

 

Im wondering where most of the medal for the 05 mustang comes from? Im thinking there's a good chance its canada...thus making the mustang really more or less a canadian car :-) :moose:
