Every time I hear someone remark about wanting to buy a foreign owned car, and blabbing about quality issues and the like, all I have to say is," If you want to buy a car made by a foriegn owned company, don't you dare complain about the American economy or about how hard it is to find a job." Oh and think of it this way, in 60 years, noone is going to find a Subaru in a barn and say, heh lets resore this thing. But Ford has this trend on their side with this one. Oh and please don't BS me about these Japanese companies making cars here, the profit still goes to corporate, and that is still headquartered in Japan.
