O.k. it's not available in Europe (or only Germany?), so I haven't seen such a car closer, but I'm very sure, that it's impossible to impress girls with such a car. In Germany four-door-sedans have principially a reputation as a conservative old-daddy-car. Especially bigger ones. But not only them. A synonyme for a grand-daddy-car is the VW Jetta (all of them, Jetta, Vento, Bora). Asian cars aren't helpful for impressing girls either. And white is impossible anyways. Yes, in Southern Europe, for example Spain, white is very popular for cars, but over here it's absolutely no-no. Since some years the German police-cars are silver/green, not white/green any more - because when they shall be sold as used cars (after pulling off the green tape) you'll get more money for a silver car than for a white one. So from my European view I have to say, that with a white Acura would be the worst choice, you can make.[/quote]

Yeah but still, if it's a Toyota plant Toyota makes money. If it's a GM plant GM makes money. Regardless of if it's in Japan or Ohio or Mexico or Tennesee

On the other hand, isn't it better to provide work to people? (for country's economy)

What's better, a US car made in Mexico or a Japanese car made in USA ? :grin:

The profits still go to the parent company, regardless of where it's assembled.

I only buy American cars so there is no other choice for me besides the F-150.

Why only American cars? I mean, I konw it's good for the US econmy and all, but the Japanese cars are SOOOO much better in reliability and build quality than most American cars (with the exception of Buick, which surprisingly has been almost on-par with Toyota in the last few years) My family has 7 cars, none of which are Amercian with the exception our Plymouth Voyager (which is a piece of crap) The japanese ones are so reliable! We have a Camry with 190,000 miles, another Camry with 200,000 miles, and an Accord with 240,000 miles that are all still running strong. Meanwhile our shit Plymouth has only 150,000 and it's about to collapse into a million pieces, I'm surprised it lasted this long. And, if you don't beleive me, just check the reliability ratings in consumer reports and other such magazines and you'll see the Japanese cars are waaaay ahead of the American automakers. It's no wonder Toyota just surpassed GM's sales as the world's largest automaker in the first quarter of 2008.

Not in all cases. Some of the popular girls at school actually asked me to give them a ride in it. I had to decline because by law I can lose my license for transporting minors in the car for the first 12 months (9 more to go :roll:

)

And get this, I'm the only "FRESHMAN" at my school that has a driver's license. :clindoeil:

Reason is because I was held back in a Catholic school.
