Are all based in America. 67% of a GM carsare made in america, more than any other company. Your above post is nothing more than an excuse tome. If you want to buy one have at it. I'm just tired of people whining about the economy as they drive there Yota's around
Not just blue collar jobs that get effected
Germ, I agree, and I don't cheer at the layoffs and plant closures of the "American" companies, but Toyota is certainly creating plenty of jobs for Americans as they openmore and more plants within our country. More and more American companies are closing plants and outsourcing which truly is sad, but then, why is this happening? Toyota rarely offers incentives comparable to that of the big three, yet they continue to grow. All I'm saying is something needs to change for it to turn around, and the answer isn't for people to just stop buying foreign. I PREFER to buy AMERICAN made products, but I WILL buy what I percieve to give me the most for my dollar, and based on personal experience (dad owns nothing but Ford trucks his whole life, brother-in-law has a 1500, countless friends own various chevy/ford trucks, and plenty also own Toyotas including me who owned a 96 Tacoma that I put 190,000 miles with very little ever done to it...hard miles, too) that's why I went with a Toyota.
I'm not bashing Ford, GM, Dodge, etc, nor am I saying Toyota is the end all be all... just my opinions on the subject.
