Thats easy, the country of origin and where the headquarters for that particular make resides.

All made here because of lop-sided shady trade deals made by bought off stuffed shirts who are selling this country to the highest bidder.

The better question is "why" are they made there. Do the big three really have any say in the matter!?! IMO Nope, it's a sink or swim deal! They have to compete in these lop-sided trade deals somehow and the quick fix is to seek out lower paid workers just like the other manufacturers do.

Aisin (japanese co. who supplies car parts for toy) here in south IL just "forced' there "American employees" to take a $1/hr cut, if they don't like it there's the door!

 

You don't know!?! Is our economy looking good? I think not! Unfortunately we're all about to know though. Look at china and what they've done and continue to do to this country and the world in general.

US manufacturing jobs down 3 million in the past decade and that's just the tip of the iceburg.

Hang on the ride is about to get real bumpy!

 

You're not alone!

 

Thing is they've had problems all along, it's just that we're actually starting to hear about em is what's new.

 

I don't like it, it was done and it can be undone! I don't give a rats **** what the stuffed shirts in DC say. We have the "market" NOW, but if this trade deficit continues at the rate it has for years the market will shift to china, and the US will have no leverage at bargaining and you can kiss our way of life good bye - plain and simple.

Send em packing!

 

True but, the same can happen across our economy. They've already eroded into our economy so much that it will take a lot of effort and determination by the US people to demand this be turned around NOW.

 

Well, if your are labaling me as a "tough guy" you must be a "genius" because in your 2 links above, it states nothing about FATAILITIES. You just proved to me nothing. ( as usual )

Once again Einstein, where are the fatality figures. Everyone knows that these SUV's aren't the most stable vehicles on the road and Ford received all the negative pr only because in the majority of reported roll over cases with Firestone, it was the tires blowing out causing the rollover. Now whose fault is was that the tires were blowing out is also debatable but the fact is Ford had a recall and your beloved Shivy never did.

 

As published by whom? ( geniune questions )

 

Wow, truly a mind numbing statement. Tell that to the man or women who is in the middle east fighting for your freedom and has a Nissan or Toyota sitting in their driveway at home....

First off, FORD vs THE COMPETITION. Easy concept to grasp.

Lastly, these facts have been presented here time and time again and seeing that some or most of the facts don't favor our beloved Ford, I can see how one can take it has Pro-Toyota propaganda.

Ignorance is bliss I guess.

 

So tell me, you make no mention of where the profits of this company goes. You tell me where Ford got the money to build plants overseas and even in Canada and Mexico.

 

Like I said and what I said is my opion..Buy a foregin car to me is being Anti-Amaerican. That is my opion please understand that..

We in America have lost the ways of supporting our own..And as for companys that have out sourced job's over sea's Shame on them..


And if it ever came to me to have to buy a Foregin car. Guess what .. I would ride my horse instead..

 

LOL! If i had a horse i would also... I dont see what the arguement is? IMO Toyoto is a Japanese company and therefore buying a Toyoto POS you are supporting the Japanese company. I saw a bumper sticker today that said, Dont like your job? Keep buying foriegn! So does this bumper sticker not mean anything?

Now if everyone felt like us our country would be stronger..But I guess things are getting soft these days..

 

Crazy aint it? I was young and could barley remember the good ol' days. Back in 1996-99 when ford was doing awesome. People went out and bought boats, new houses, they had money in the bank to do whatever they desired. Then the tides changed, now there boats and trucks are getting reposesed, they go through multipule plant closings and get kicked around, try doing everything they can to keep there house and food on the table. And people are trying to tell me that its not bad to buy foriegn. I dont know but i will always beg to differ when it comes to this subject. No more american pride.

 

And you might not think that its effecting you becuase you dont work for the big three, but look around! It is!
