Nice way to get your point across. But wouldn't it'd be kind of like them calling you a traitor or snob for not supporting your industry? I won't, though.

Anyone else think the current Chysler Hemi craze it pathetic and sad?

No. It's called business.

Yup, just ask the Japanese. "The new, 300 hp Nissan Titan." Why do they feel the need to bribe, err, give, a V8 standard? Why do they not produce many commercials without letting you know how many horsepower their cars have? Why was Nissan asking for a CAFE exemption for the Titan, since they head below the minimum average with it?
Or ask our friends across the pond. Who really needs a 500hp M5, a 600hp SL, a 400hp Jag, a 450hp Porsche SUV, or a 450hp Audi? Probably to move the 2 to 2 1/2 tons of (unreliable) electronic junk on the cars. Why do they escalate among each other? Competition.

Hey stud, lets head into the mountains and lets see how long you can follow me along one of these twisty roads with my meager 180hp pushing along in back. I'll make sure to send the state patrol to haul you body back up the cliff......Hell, I'll even come by and lay out a wreath that says, "Darwin was right". [/B]

The 300 has a Mercedes E suspension and has been noted for decent handling. Not 911 quality, but not bad. There's no new car on the road that handles like the car of 30-40 years ago that you, in
YOUR ignorance, probably assume Detroit still produces.
GM turns a profit everywhere else in the world except North America. They're even making strides in Europe. So you're right...perhaps we are a bunch of hillbillies for slamming our HOME industry (with outdated reasoning to boot), then we can all wonder why jobs are exiting the country.
