Well, with a new accord, - You get to pay higher taxes/registration and help out your community. - You have to pay more for inspections (smog test) but, you get the warm fuzzy that even though Houston's refineries are STILL making 99% of Texas' air pollution, you're only adding .0005% of the air pollution instead of a Rambler's .00055%! - Also, by buying that American ASSEMBLED accord, you are keeping thousands of foreigners in jobs making the 95% foreign content of the car. - Let's not forget that you are helping Honda shuffle more money out of American and into Japan through tax loopholes (like shifting all expenses onto the American operations so they run at near zero profit or slight losses, therefore little to no American taxes (and that's AFTER localities give them tax breaks and subsidies to open factories)). THAT'S why you would want to drive an accord instead of a Rambler! DUH! > Why would anyone want to drive an Accord or whatever? The > 64 Ambo is the same size as a "big" Japanese sedan, roomier, > faster, all that glass... whatever it costs its half the Accord! _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://splatter.wps.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/amc-list
