American or Foriegn?

Hey Guys, just wondering since every one here has Camaro's I was just wondering do you guys buy AMERICAN made or Foriegn cars?
I absolutely hate Foriegn cars like Toyota, Honda, ect. I ONLY buy American and have 6 Chevys and 1 Dodge.

American all the way. However, some of the german cars like BMW and Audi are pretty nice, but then again, I would never want to pay for repairs or up keep on them. If I want a truck, then I will buy a Dodge, but for cars I only buy chevy.

My first car was a honda civic great car no problems with 10 years of ownership. Think I only ever had to replace the battery. Owned a 97 Trans Am replaced everything under the sun. Hell even this 2010 Camaro had its tranny and battery replaced under 5k miles. I would like to buy only american made vehicles but I buy whats good for my dollar. Think im gonna pick up a used accord for my daily driver and try and drive my SS less.

You do know the gen 5 Camaro is Canadian made?
You do know a lot of "foreign" cars are American made?
You do know many Dodge vehicles are Mexican made?

i buy for the styling. i can't stand the style of japanese/foreign cars (unless we're talking exotic). i'm not concerned with where it's made

But the Money stays here, rather than going back to Japan etc. I know that they have plants here and such and help employment somewhat but they are still based in a foreign country.
