Title: Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Whats everyone have for a daily driver?

It's hard to put a nationality tag on cars anymore. A Ford Focus (designed in Germany, built in Mexico) is considered an "American" car because of the nameplate. A Nissan Altima (designed in California, built in Tennessee) is considered Japanese. Go figure. One of my cousins bought a new Volvo, and the window sticker said that it was made in Canada.
I've been buying cars since the late 1950s (I'm even older than Doc) and I remember when American cars were the standard of the world and Toyotas were like tin cans. Hondas didn't even exist. Mercedes and BMWs were a rare sight. Then in the seventies Detroit started getting the 'they'll buy whatever we build' attitude. Sad.
