Ok ,some toyotas are made here in the states but when someone buys an import that money that was used to buy it go's to the Co. overseas it don't support people in the states.
Right on RDHunter! Our countries biggest employer used to be General Motors. Today it's Wal-Mart. Where would you rather have your kids work? GM, Ford, and Chrysler vehicles are actually beating Toyota and the Japanese companies in terms of quality today but the perception is that Japanese means better quality. Japanese vehicles mean fewer American jobs and lower non-union wages. And even though your Toyota truck may have been assembled in the US, 80% of the parts content is imported. Buy a GM truck and you support 10 other American jobs for every GM assembly plant worker. I know this is a hunting forum but I really feel strongly about this.
