we are loyal to our conveniences.

stopping by the roadside and wait for BCAA is not part of that, capiche?

Not to mention somehow Ford has the guts to charge the same PDI and delivery as Japanese vehicle which clearly came from another continent.

Funny you should say that...

Here's a list of Japanese cars made in North America:
Honda CRV
Honda Civic
Honda Element
Honda Odyssey
Honda Pilot
Honda Accord

Acura ZDX
Acura MDX
Acura CSX
Acura TL

Toyota Corolla
Toyota Matrix
Toyota Rav4
Toyota Camry
Toyota Avalon
Toyota Solara 'vert
Toyota Venza
Toyota Prius

Lexus RX



...etc, etc, etc...

And that's just a fraction of Japanese cars made here in North America.

I think communities that saw tens of thousands of layoffs as a result of auto plant closures would disagree with your elitist sentiment. They're trying to support an industry which has put countless families into hardship due to plant closures (which themselves were a result of oil disputes and automotive retail wars).

Sure some "car patriots" cling to the glory days of the 50s to early 70s when American cars were functional pieces of art. Sure some of these people are out of touch. But that doesn't mean they're wrong.
