I am curious as to why this is dissapointing to you. Did you really expect that there were no parts on your Camaro made in other countries? You will find parts made in India as well as S. Korea, probably Japan and yes, even the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

Or are just using your lamp to make a point? A valid one for sure. But being disappointed indicates you had other expectations.

Yeah, the lines are blurred. No car is "pure" so to speak anymore.

I don't think its even possible, as far as I know there aren't any rubber "creators" in the U.S. recycling plants and fabricators yes, but I don't think any rubber actually originates from the U.S.

Maybe he just dislikes China, I for one dislike Turkey((the country)), but that's just because I sat beside a guy in my programming class for a year who wouldn't shut up about it....

Thats why I get a good laugh out of guys even on this forum who raise their eyebrows at someone who would dare buy a Honda, or Nissan. Are you kidding me?............its not quite as bad on the corvette forum.........

So funny,

This is such a touchy subject with us die hard “MADE IN USA” Americans… Anytime I have the opportunity to by American I do, and yes I am still bothered that cretin products are no longer made in America. But times have changed and so have I… Hell, it be very hard to live and enjoy life if you only bought American…

Well obviously I have struck a sore spot with many supporters of china on this board. Yes I would prefer not to buy anything made in china. At 41 I'm old school enough to not want to support a communist society. It's the way I grew up and you won't change my belief in that so there is no reason for political discussion on it. Mods please close this or delete thread
