[QUOTE="Ephchap, post: 348800, member: 27"] Count me in the "Buy American" Camp. Yes, I do know that some Toyotas and Hondas and others are now being manufactured in the US, and yes, I do know that many of the parts of the cars assembled here in the US come from overseas (even the American car companies), but the bulk of the car is built here ... and at least my money is going to a US company. Buying a Toyota made here does help put some Americans to work at those factories, but the foreign company is still getting the money - our American money. I know - different opinions. As they say, different strokes for different folks. :) All that aside, even though I wouldn't have bought a Toyota on principle, I definitely wouldn't buy one now - safety issue, resale issue, and the fact that they knew and were trying to hide it. There have been many automotive recalls through the years by all car companies, but Toyota has not stepped up and accepted responsibility until forced to, and even now, are trying to sidestep the issue.
