Cash for Klunkers Gov't site (cars.gov)

The dealers live and work in the US - so do the mechanics, and the assembly plant workers (many 'foreign' cars are assembled here). The taxes from the sale of these vehicles go to the US, the US residents are the ones that benefit from driving the new cars.

That said, I would argue that Honda, Toyota, and Hyundai have been producing higher-quality compact, inexpensive cars for many years...and the US hasn't. If this "free market" economy that we live in is to be trusted, then we can rest assured that the public is going to buy the best vehicle they can afford. If those best vehicles are foreign, isn't it the fault of the domestic producers for not putting out better vehicles?

I mean, we all drive freakin' Subarus

I say all of this with love, as I wouldn't want politics to come between my car nerd friends and me!

WHAT HE SAID.... the last thing I meant to do was start a political discussion... I got a great idea, let's drag the pope, abortion, same sex marriages, welfare fraud and crappy federally funded school lunch programs into this as well....

I personally think we should immerse ourselves in saving the barnacle... WHAT ABOUT THE BARNACLES?

I wasn't attacking politics to much, I was attacking the c4c program. It wasn't really meant to be a political debate or anything in my long post.

 
I just didn't want it to get out of hand on a thread I started...

Srry if I sounded like I was onto someone in specific, I meant to be much more generalized...

But my unkle skeeter told me that if you dunt buy GM or ford you hate amurka!

Right?

But in all serious, those are two links that I found interesting and that back up what he's saying. Just because it's parent company is foreign doesn't mean it doesn't employ people in the US.

I'm glad this thread has remained civil. On another automotive forum I know of, political threads turn into a complete blow out by post 3, I hope we can avoid that trend here.

EDIT: this thread changed topics before I refeshed it. I'm not really into sea critters myself, except maybe fried clams.

 
that's because that other automotive forum is full of babies who don't have anything to do all day but troll forums. But most of us on here are mature and can actually have a political conversation and keep it clean. It's nice.

And of course the members on there that are also on here and mature and all that stuff

Its not even about which car company gets the money. It is about the government using tax money to buy people cars. WTF. Taxes are not for that! If you want a new car pay for it yourself or get some credit and pay it back. If they wanted to spur the economy then they should have just let me keep 4500 bucks, instead of taking it out of my paycheck.

Friggin politics. Can't wait to see some people tonight at the meet! No politics there, just AWD bliss!
