shall i go on???????
In response to your piss poor argumentation ,
Not at all angry about being German in fact I am proud .

It's not a girls name but then again I do not expect much from a dumb as stump hck with dirt inbetween his toes .

Correct there are no German cars there .Since I was able to read your silly post to begin with I think it is safe to assume I can read but I might like to remind you that the number one selling nameplate in the world bar none is not a domestic .It is in fact the VW Golf a German made vehicle with 22 million copies sold worldwide to date and running .The second most popular was the VW Beetle with about 21.5 million copies sold worldwide .

Acura has in fact discontinued several series of cars but contines at this point to sell cars .Unlike GM which is not only discontinuing specific models but now has sadly decided to discontinue the great name of Oldsmobile which I feel is a sad thing as Oldsmobile has a near 100 year history .

I have in fact owned the following AMerican made cars
Ford Fiesta
Ford Mustang SVO
Ford Mustang LX 5.0 litre
Chevrolet Corvette 429 4 speed
AMC Javelin SST 390

I love my mom to death she is a great lady and if you think that makes me a "momma's boy " that is fine with me I would be surprised if your mother even acknowledged you as her child .

What is really funny to me though is this dumbass is hating on Japanese cars in an american built car forum. He's also probably under the impression all the parts in his 'American' truck/redneck hauler are actually from America... Gotta love rednecks.

Anyways, show a little respect - don't come in here with an attitude....But w/ a screen name like "japcarssuck" on an Acura forum (ps - the cl/cls was built in the US - ass) I expect nothing more - you are probably 17 years old and drive a pickup truck, your real name is billy bob, and you date your second cousin, and you feel very out of place in nyc (at least thats how you come off)

I'm the asshole- right ok whatever. First of all, all i did was post a list. I never started the name calling bulshit. I was called a moron for posting an opinion. Not my fault if you can't figure out the difference.

I know near lux./luxury cars or anything more expensive than entry will never make the top ten list. That wasn't my point.

Jens, I put alot of sarcasm in my posts. Try to keep up. Right the VW. And lets flashback a few years and lets all remember the lawsuit that GM brought against VW for stolen designs and concept and GM won. VW had to buck up billions, but instead of taking the money an agreemnet was made. Components, sensors, parts etc. are from ac delco and other subsidiaries of hmmmmmmmmmm let me guess GM. so take you bulshit elswhere my friend. So look under the hood of VW and remember, no good idea ever came out of germany!!!!!!!

Because it is still not a full-size pickup capable of doing "large work." Your only point here is top sales. I am talking about reliability. Do you really want to own a F150 and tell others you have a tough work truck, when in reality it is plagued with reliability problems and TSBs coming out the ass?

I am talking about the quality of vehicles. Has Ford improved their new 2004 F150? Quality is more important than top sales numbers.

Not at all, you are relying solely on a single definition which could include a go-cart, motorcycle or even a RC vehicle. I provided a source with clearly defined the mentioned items.

It is common practice to associate car with automobile; not to a truck. But this is getting pointless arguing with someone who comes across as such a narrow minded individual...

BTW, many of us have owned or owned or will own domestics. There is no single stereotype as you are trying to present.

But you mentioned BMW and Acura in your rebuttal; Acura is near luxury with the CL/TL and has other models which are luxury. BMW is normally considered luxury. So what was your point??

You know JAPCARSSUCK arguing with you is fun and all and we could go on all day and night about the relative merits of various countries but since you brought it up............

German Beer is clearly better than Budweiser.
BMW is clearly a better product than a Lincoln

Just two small reminders that we indeed not only have good ideas but Americans like them too .SO it seems your statement is not supported by your fellow country men who buy more and more beer and beemers each passing year .Thank you America we appreciate your business and will continue to send more of both .

As far as bullsh*t goes ................? Was I lying when I said that the VW Golf is the number one nameplate in the world or that the VW Beetle was the number two ? Doesn't sound like BS to me. And as far as companies suing each other ?what does that have to do with the fact that VW is on top ?

Oh and here are some great ideas guess where they are from :
Edsel
Pinto
Enron
Nuclear bombs
And the Corvair
Seems each country is a bit flawed .Oh and about that sarcasm you mentioned ...............................I was being sarcastic too but you are such an expert I don't really have to tell you that do I??????


Have a great day

Jens

Bite your tongue, I love my Anheuser-Busch products.

But then again, I'm more about quantity than quality when it comes to my beer.

So Saab, Jaguar, etc. are domestics by this line of thinking...

IMO, it is not as cut and dry as it was twenty years ago.

Dresden and Leipzig?The fireraids were an act of what .........?savagery simple as that .
Nagasaki same as Hiroshima
