Not to foster any bad feelings towards any automotive manufacture but since
I only harp on vehicles I used to drive or won, I believe that real
information is the key for not only power but freedom for any citizen.
It is matter of taste of what vehicle you drive and with the buyer
objectives for ownership. But I don't swallow the false advertisement,
faking the performance parameters with unusual (not) gearing and claiming
(or lying) that I was first to bring out the quad cab or crew cab when your
competition did the same and better.
If you had the opportunity to purchase a Honda, remove the front gear (front
wheel drive) and see the size drive and pinion they used, you will laugh.
Most magazine editors don't seem to read the specifics before saying,
"..Lots of power or move like a rocket." With the power of e-mail and armed
with technical aspect of the vehicle, once again, you have to correct the
misinformed of not reading the technical parameters before opening there
mouths.
Most cars that are run through the mill for Car & Driver magazine for the
ten best cars are made with quality control, to include American brands. I
don't see it anymore as just American brand but worldwide corporations, with
likes of DC, Ford, GM, and so-forth.
Is it wrong to degrade another brand, yes, if you had one but not if you
didn't own one? Beside Heather, this 1st Amendment in which we believe in
so dearly is what freedom of speech is about. If not then, which country in
this world would allow such freedom to even criticize another or the
government itself. But then, you better are armed with the facts in order
to be substantive.
Real cars for real people.
As for far for voting, I would vote for McCain.
