Willard is driving a new Audi .. so much for American made

[Dick Tuck]

Where were those black and red (Soviet colors) buses made that Obama pretended to use for his American tour?

I'll buy an American made car, but not a GM. I think I'll stick with Ford since they told Obama to shove his TARP money.

Not only did they take federal bucks, but they're made all over the world. Brazil, Mexico, Europe... Ford is NOT an American made car.

Neither is Audi.

But hey, not to worry. You can always go shopping for your shitty plastic xmas crap at walmart and be assured of real quality that only China can offer.

GM makes more cars in China than it does in the USA, you stupid douche nozzle.

They make them there for the Chinese and Asian markets, not for the US market, dumb twizzle.

And Ford builds cars in Europe for the European market, douche nozzle.

That's not the point. The point is GM is producing more cars overseas than here in the US.

 

[Katzndogz]

They could make them here and export them to China, like the Chinese make products there and export them to the US. But, that would mean an increase in American made products. Because we have union employees that make crappy products, a Chinese market would likely reject American made cars.

I might buy an American made car with a foreign brand, because those plants are non-union in right to work states. But I wouldn't have a union made car no matter what the brand it.

 

[PredFan]

Romney is rich, why the **** would he drive a piece of shit union-made American car?

Audis are great cars. Have two now and have owned several others. German automotive engineering is the best IMO.

Right up until the VAG electrical problems hit! My friend's wife loved her Audi A4. So did someone else, because it got stolen. To replace it, she bought an A6. MISTAKE! The car was a catastrophe; in the year she owned it, she put more miles on service loaners than on her car. Nobody, including an engineer from Germany, could fix it. She dumped it (I think she lemon-lawed it) and is VERY happy with her Dodge Charger R/T Road-Track. (This place needs a "burnout" smilie.) Her exact words: "The Charger is ten times the car the Audi ever was!"

 

[Jarlaxle]

So what?

Tell me how everything you buy is American-made.

Ahh, expect the pat liberal response. "Well, that's DIFFERENT".
What these bozos fail to understand is even if one buys a car with an American name plate, it does not mean the car is "American made or even built"
Every single Ford Fusion is built in Mexico with 70% foreign made parts.
Many Ford vehicles come equipped with Transmission built by Mitsubishi.
Conversely, the Mazda 6, Toyota Tundra and Previa Vans are just some of the autos with foreign brands but are built right here in the USA with majority USA made parts.
So what's foreign these days?

What a pile...

Ford does NOT use a Mitsubishi transmission. (Though I recall their new FWD transaxles were designed jointly with Mazda.)
Toyota Previas were built in Japan. (My friend had one, built in Toyota City, Japan, VIN started with J.)
The Mazda 6 is built in the Ford-Mazda joint venture plant in Flat Rock; as of next year, all production for the US market will come from Japan.

I have owned three Ford cars and two F-350's. Each and every one of them were US-made. One (Cougar) in Lorain, Ohio, one (Marquis wagon) in St. Louis, Missouri, one (Escort) in either Dearborn, Michigan or Edison, New Jersey, both trucks in Dearborn.

Ahhh...the Charger....recall the Charger of old? 1970's? And the Challanger? That was when a car was more than a car...it warranted a name...we all named ours and we were tinkering under the hood every saturday morning. Not that it needed it....but more that it was just plain old fun. I still carry a gap setter on my key chain....havn't used it in 35 years. Still have my old timing light as well. Hanging up in my garage doing nothing but using hook space.

Now I drive a 335i....great car...well made....but it is not the Charger of years gone by.

No, a new Charger, I think a 2006 or 2007.

Note: a new Charger RT (390HP) will suck the doors off a 335i. Even a V6 Charger (290HP, 8-speed transmission) will give you a pretty good run.

I have no doubt. But I am no longer in it for the power. My days of headers and 60's ended back in the late 70's. Heck...it took a lot out of me to give my wife reason to go for the 335 over the 328.....lol...there really was no good reason other than I had a flashback of my former days....

Audi's suck.

When I was a kid, I was driving our Audi at 100 mph down the highways of Saskatchewan when a piston went through a cylinder.

So much for this vaunted "German engineering."

My Ford F-150( 2000) has a Mistu tranny...
And my mistake. The Sienna is built in the US.
Here's a list of plants and what model or parts/components are made in each.
Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Mississippi, Inc. (TMMMS)
Mazdas have been made in the Flat Rock plant for over 20 years.
I had a 1990 MX -6 that was made there. The two Mazda 6's my friend has had were made in Flat Rock as well.
Anyway, the point is many foreign auto manufacturers have plants here that make cars with majority domestic parts. While some of our so called "American" car companies make their cars outside the US with majority foreign made parts.
Those are the facts. They are not in dispute.

They seem to rate rather low in Consumer Reports annual car buying issue.
For the money Audi gets for their vehicles, they are not a good value at all.

Romney is rich, why the **** would he drive a piece of shit union-made American car?

I'm surprised he isn't driving a Bentley or a Lamborghini. Audi's are relatively inexpensive.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Fact is, the GObP/pub/rw's would strongly prefer NOT to buy American.

If anyone doubts this, just read the walmart threads.

The right actually goes out of their way to buy from other countries. They'll lie about it but its a fact.

Surely even the blind rw's have noticed that the Romney's are cheap and stupid.

 

[LogikAndReazon]

No. We voted for Romney because he was clearly the more experienced leader of the two.

The fact that Romney has an audi is completely irrelevant to just about anything in reality.

LOL you are so full of ******* shit Avatar. You where wrong about him winning, you are wrong about him being a better leader...You've been wrong on most things.

No him driving an audi flies in the face about him being a Detroit man. He was pandering to those people. Just admit it and move on instead of deflecting it.

There is no harm in the pandering, unless you deny what it was.

You dishonest little pissant.

Driving an audi just means he is driving an audi. He isnt making a political statement.

Get your partisan head out of your ass and come back to reality before you end up destroying yourself.

Everything is political to leftist turds...............EVERYTHING

Romney made a big deal about saying he loved AMERICAN cars.

He was lying.

He also said he would have let the AMERICAN car industry die.

That was one of the very few truths he told.

He was running for president when he said those things.

THAT is political.

(But, hell, the height of trees was political the Rs.)
