Really? Exactly which made-in-America computer are you using right now? You never shop at Wal-Mart, Target, or CostCo?

And, once again, just because a car has an American label on it does not means it's "American. The Honda Accord and Toyota Camry employ SIGNIFICANTLY more Americans than do The Ford Fusion, Crown Victoria, Chrsyler PT Cruiser, many Ford Focuses, the Buick LaCrosse, etc.

You'll also have to explain that, when the KOREAN-built Chevy Aveo first came out, GM car czar Bob Lutz said he HOPED that Americans would buy a lot of them.

Now, why is a HEAD of an AMERICAN auto company asking people to buy a foreign car?

Shoots yet another hole in your argument.

Do you really feel good buying a product made by a UAW Union employee?? Seriously these guys get by with doing as little work as possible since they have union membership firing them would be hard to do. There is a reason why such low quality parts go into domestics and that is to pay the INFLATED salary of the union.

Toyota tried to open a plant in Michigan last year and the UAW would not let them since Toyota wants nothing with the union. So the UAW basically denied people employment because of their greed.

"The Cobalt is assembled in Lordstown (Youngstown), OH with over an 80% domestic parts content. There is no import sold in the USA with that parts content plus the Cobalt is made with higher paid union labor."

The above statement is just false. I have a 2006 Cobalt that I bought in the fall and like the car a great deal. But I also have a Toyota Sienna Van and like it also. The Toyota Sienna is made with 92% domestic parts. So to state the above statement is just spouting numbers without research.

Meanwhile, although it is now discontinued, the Ford Taurus was built with 76% domestic parts. At least in its later years.

My dad & I was having this debate less than six months ago. All you have to do is Google the information on the web and you can find it.

Again, I have nothing against GM products or so called foreign made products, but lets look at the real numbers.
