foreign and domestic autos
 
Somebody did a study on just what it takes to be a domesitic auto in the US. It seems that the study wanted the auto to be 70% made in USA and be built in USA.
A domestic auto was some Toyota and foreign autos were the Mustang and the Saburbin. Now I don't know what star ship this guy just got off of but a Ford Mustang and a Chevy Saburbin somehow are foreign and A Toyota is domestic? Anyone see anything wrong with this picture.
GM is the WORLDS biggest auto maker and Ford is a close 2nd, These compainies have plants all over the world, The GM plant in Japan makes armrest, that don't mean it isn't GM, The Ford plant in Austrailia or Canada Makes engines, that don't mean there not Ford. Now he may have had an argument if the company that was makeing the part was not part of GM or Ford , but neither company buys parts from a third party and puts that part on a GM or Ford.

the good news is JD Powers and Assc have rated the Mustang and Fusion as best in their class for 2006 :ae:

The other news is, Mustangs class is (mustang) thats it. I guess you could put the GTO close there somewhere. But they don't make GTO anymore , sooooo? And they weren't really in the same class anyway, GTO $35,000 Mustang Gt $22,000. That would mean you could put $13,000 in a mustang and be equal in value, That would mean a Roush Stage 3 Mustang and there would be no comparison to a Roush and a GTO, The Roush would win every event they entered by a bunch.

Makes a whole new definition of in a class by itself the "Mustang"! No wonder the Challenger and Camero are looking at retro engineering :D
