Another reason government run anything wont work

[pbr87]

not all american cars suck ass. Although, I feel that every US car from the late 80s to 90s was pretty bad...

.....except for: Buick GNX, Mustang Cobra, C4 Corvette ZR-1, Lincoln Town Car, Dodge Viper...........Did I miss any?

Thses are real American cars...



In case you dont know that those are:

#4 1966 Shelby Cobra 427

You make it too easy to make fun of you. That is called an A/C Ace.

It's a Brit vehicle.

Nope, the GOVERNMENT should have never used the Country's money to bail out a failing business. People expect the government to be the "be all end all". Its clearly stated in 4 pages what the government's role is for its people. Many today wipe their ass with that paper and "THAT" is what is wrong with America today!

I fully agree, if it was a reasonable loan like was done in the 80's for Chrysler, I could be ok with it. What they got was a unrepayable in full, dont like it one bit and, I am a big big GM guy, and it pains me to think of my next truck being a ford, but thats who will get my money till GM is outta debt with the govt. That will never happen in my life time.

Volvo is (or was) owned by Ford, so = American




Pontiac = American.

And Holden (or whatever australian company first produced it) is GM owned...so stil = American.

The original SHO had a Yamaha engine.

Haha, yeah! Taurus SHO has always been sort of a sleeper family sedan. Like an American M5 (pretty sad IMO, but still a sweet car).
























Oh, and thread HIJACKED!
But who gives a fuck, the original topic was stupid.

My Pontiac was made in Canada, and my Ford in Korea

[pureaudio]

I'm not entirely opposed to some of the cars GM is producing now but I refuse to support the company in its current state.

the original c4 zr1 had a Lotus designed and built by Mercury Marine 32v DOHC 350 in it. LT5 made 375hp 91 92 93 and 405hp 94 95 96. Had a odd bore and stroke combo too.


this is a little out dated but ought to get point across that all the auto makes are in bed with each other.

My Nissan was made in America

Your point does not count. They were independent entities until they were bought up. Being part of a World Corporation does not make them American if said corporation is based in the US of A.

pretty sure swedish volvo fans and australian holden fans would disagree with you, but you're welcome to your opinion.

Those cars were so sweet for their day! Expenive, though. They had a "valet-setting" on the car, that would limit the output to 250bhp

No, YOUR point does not count. :pimp:

Some of the older Volvos and Holdens were not "U.S. built", but the newer ones sort of are.
