Why do Republicans get upset when Americans buy superior Japanese vehicles?
The only somewhat decent US manufacturer is Ford but nowhere near the quality of Honda, Toyota, Subaru, or Nissan.
Who says Republicans get upset? As I remember it, Republicans were the ones upset by Obama using tax money to bail out his UAW buddies at GM.
Because you like to make things up.
Because it puts US workers out of work. In the end, what good does it do for you to buy a "superior vehicle if, in the end, no one has a job to afford it?
Ford makes the best trucks, and the Escape is an above average SUV but as far as compact-mid size sedans for daily driving you can't beat the Accord or Camry.
I would disagree with you on two counts:
1. I don't see a lot of Republicans complaining about people buying japanese cars, especially as many of those cars are actually made here in the USA.
2. Like hell US manufacturers can't compete. My current 8 year old Ford Fusion has been an outstanding car. In my 8 years and 85,000 miles, only 2 things broke. The stereo which was replaced under warranty, and the inside door handle.
Oh look, a Leftists imagining what Republicans get upset about
That never happens!
We don't.
in fact you libs were the ones who bailed out GM even though the cars they make like to catch fire.
I buy what I like and I like Japanese vehicles. 3 Jap care and one Ford truck. The question should be… Why do liberals assume they understand how conservatives think.
I think this is a misconception. Most republicans want to support American businesses and buy things that are made in America (which most American cars ironically are not…)
- Why don't American cars last as long as Japanese cars? My family has owned a Ford Taurus and a Nissan Altima of similar model years. Both cars are still running, but the Taurus has very low mileage (it's a 1999 with only 85,000 miles) and the interior is in horrible condition and the plastics Ford put in have been known for breaking. None of this has happened with the Altima, even though it has more miles. Why?
- Why would people buy a Toyota Hilux when they can buy a better, superior Ford Ranger? I owned a 2010 Toyota Camry and it broke down in 2011 upon reaching 0.6k miles. I treated it like a baby and it failed and disappointed me. My friend also owned a 2008 Toyota Tacoma and it failed to start in 2009 upon reaching 8k miles. And the mechanic said it was impossible to fix. However, my uncle has a 1965 Ford Falcon with over 750k miles on its clock and it still runs like new and he never even changed its oil since he bought it.
- If Graham is so upset about people making charges without evidence then why is he accusing Ford of lying without any evidence and the DNC? "putting her up to it" with no evidence for that claim either? Privately? Why? These are public hearings and a lifelong appointment. If somebody's going to speak up they'd better do it now.
