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.



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.



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 So you're right...perhaps we are a bunch of hillbillies for slamming our HOME industry (with outdated reasoning to boot), then we can all wonder why jobs are exiting the country.

Ooookaaaayy...time for a cup of coffee there dude?
