easy way to solve things is to just buy american made. You always hear people preaching about purchasing american things over chinese made items at the store
Muscle vs. import
- Thread starter doomiedee
- Start date
My first two cars years ago (during my student days) were older VWs. Even at the slightest inclines, I had to be in the slow lane with the big trucks. I vowed that some day I would have a car that would cruise uphill passing everything else on the road. A couple of turbo charged Buicks and a V8 Cougar made passing cars quite fun. I remember being at a car wash when an old lady said, "That's a nice car." "What kind of mileage do you get?" I gave her the flippant retort, "I didn't buy it for the mileage."
Now I drive a 2011 Camry which I despise because the mileage is a lot worse than the 2004 Camry I had before it. I want a Prius 4. Eeks, yikes! I have become that old lady! One speeding ticket converted me, and I can still pass slow vehicles with a wimpy car...I just don't burn as much gas. I do love muscle where I really need it--for my boat and truck...no compromising there on muscle.

I wasn't aware there were any,or very many Chinese made cars that were sold in this country.
Sorry that may have not come out clear enough. I was trying to reference large portion of goods in stores today are imported from china, not saying the cars that are imported are from china.
Oh I see,but that does not really pertain to the discussion of muscle vs import cars... unless I am missing something.
Problem is there are very few truly "American made" cars anymore, a lot are made in Mexico or Canada. There seem to be more Japanese cars made in America than american cars, lol.
The Camry and I believe Tundra are both made right here in Indiana, about 3 hours SW of me... And the Civic is made about 45 minutes NE of me...
I remember reading about them before they came out. Corvette owners laughed that they could be faster then Corvettes. We all know how that turned out.
