I'm deciding on whether to get a 2016-2017 Civic Sedan or Cruze?

My dad is not a fan of American cars (Btw we live in Canada). Our 1992 Plymouth Voyager broke down many times with the transmission, and our 2002 Ford Windstar was pretty decent, but it had its fair share of mechanical failures.

We have a 2007 Versa which has some problems, 2010 Odyssey which has no problems (We barely use it only 40K Km, and a 2017 rogue 20 000 KM).

I like the design of the Civic. I think the daytime running lights looks really serious and such. Looks unique. But I wanted to be unique and get a Chevy Cruze because it is American. Not many asian people drive American.

Plus I don't really like Japanese cars because I want to support North America and not Japan.

But in retrospect, I want reliability. I want to know the car I drive will not break down. I don't want to replace air condition condensers, brake light switch etc…

Which would you get?

I also plan on getting the middle model of each car which ever I get. The highest model the touring is too much for me.

Why do leftists like to assassinate Republican presidents?

3 out of four killed were Republicans: Garfiels, Linclon and McKinley.

Two were shot: Teddy Roosevelt and Reagan.

FDR had an attempt… By an immigrant.

Taft had one attempt on his life. Perhaps because a black man was i vited to dine at the White House.

Herbert Hoover had an attempt on his life.

Truman had two attempts by outside sources for causes not directly related to the US left right divide.

Nixon had two attempts to assassinate him.

Carter had one attempt by a mentally ill drifter.

Ford had two attempts.

The big outlier was Kennedy and he was killed by a leftist Marxist too.

There are other attempts like the one on jackson… But that person was deemed insane more than politically motivated.

There were several more from outside sources, mentally ill etc.

But it is clear that the american based politically motivated attempts and actual assassinations are almost exclusively by leftists.

How do people who claim the free market solves all problems explain the Ford Pinto case?

Ford purposefully used an engine in a car known to have a high risk of exploding and killing the driver despite having a better engine because they did a cost-benefit analysis and found that using the cheaper engine would outweigh the cost of any legal fees due to people harmed from the dangerous engine.

"Although Ford had access to a new design which would decrease the possibility of the Ford Pinto from exploding, the company chose not to implement the design… The company defended itself on the grounds that it used the accepted risk/benefit analysis to determine if the monetary costs of making the change were greater than the societal benefit… This risk/benefit analysis was created out of the development of product liability, culminating at Judge Learned Hand's BPL formula, where if the expected harm exceeded the cost to take the precaution, then the company must take the precaution, whereas if the cost was liable, then it did not have to."
