Pretty much as long as they are made well.

So a well built car imported from China is fine?

No

No

Can't disagree, just find it interesting how Chinese production didn't really seem to impact sales of the Buick Envision and various Volvo products. They're nice vehicles sold at a good price, guess it's not a big deal to many.

No

How so?

[razr390]

No

How so?

Probably because trade between US/MX/CA is more beneficial to all 3 countries long term as opposed to trade with China?

[max225]

No

How so?

Whatever makes cars can make tanks. They already make 90-% of what we use. Cars/planes/military equipment are the last holdouts

having aligned political ideologies helps.

This makes sense.

They're manufacturing diesel/elec submarines, and aircraft carriers.
Mostly designs they bought from the Russians, but with a hefty supply of T-55's and T-72's out there, might not be needed.

I came in here for the gangbang per the thread title. What the hell are you all talking about.

Toyota also has a plant in Texas where it makes Tundra's

This taco is made in Texas also

Texas logic:
= economy car
Tundra = a

To be honest, I think that most have no idea. I met one person who owned an Envision and just thought it was an American car.

I think that's it right there.

[MexicanYarisTK]

Not that it matters. A huge number of "domestic" full size pickups are made in Mexico too. I'm surprised there hasn't been more uproar about that.

Pretty much as long as they are made well.

My GTI built in puebla has held up pretty good as far as "superior" interior, especially when some people were the fact that it looks like a brand new car on the inside, considering it is almost a 100k mile car.

Somebody local has a Mk7 with a custom plate "MXSALSA" which I doubt many get.

Yeah, the average person knows dick-all about the vehicle they are purchasing, just like the average salesman knows dick-all about the vehicle they are selling.

I remember when I was test driving a Taco, I asked the salesman what the rear gear ratio was and he replied with, "What's a rear gear ratio?" This led to me explaining how a differential works and never getting my question answered. I didn't like the truck enough to look it up after the fact.

That’s a fairly obscure fact that doesn't need to be known by a saleshole. Knowing a gear ratio won’t sell the vehicle. They are trained to financially ruin you, not educate you on vehicle features

Mexican salsa?
Max, sal, Samuel ? A tripple gay threat ? I’m lost

I read it as the former. In reality it could be any of the rest of them.

The thing that gets me is to get a personalized plate, you need to take significant effort including going to the DMV and paying extra. All so you can repeat the badges that are already on the car?

It's not obscure at all, especially when it comes to trucks. It isn't like I asked how many gallons of coolant the cooling system holds. Gear ratios greatly affect acceleration, fuel economy, and towing capacities. It is pertinent information for a truck.
