I can admire that sentiment but...

I bet if you were SERIOUSLY confronted with that decision - which is probably more of a real possibility than people might think in the coming years - you would (as would most people) rationalize their way into the Chinese electric car. Nothing personal, but it just bothers me when people make these high-minded statements from a position of convenience (i.e. "we're not REALLY confronting that decision right now").

If those REALLY were the only two choices - as they very well might be in a few years - I bet most people saying that would simply shrug, come up with some kind of convenient rationalization and do what was easy, not what was right.
