NickF1011 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 You're right, they won't give a real response because the truth hurts. There are still a lot of them with blinders on who think it is still the '70s and '80s and we can squash anything foreign. This is part of the problem with me, some of them just still have the attitude, "imports suck". Guess what, that is not working anymore. Don't look now, Toyota is passing you by. Next will by Honda. I wonder which foreign company could take 3rd to take all top 3 positions that the "big" 3 once held. Still say they should merge into one company to try to compete with Japan! Funny, what a joke our auto manufacturers have become. Toyota is currently the only foreign automaker that's even CLOSE, and the only one showing consistent enough gains to pose an immediate threat of ascending to #1. Nissan is showing strong gains too, but they are coming from a much smaller position in the market. Honda's market share has been growing very slowly, if at all, over the past couple of years.

Oh wait, I bet it was back in 1993 and I bet the car was a Ford Escort! Maybe you should actually go to a few autoshows and look at some of the new Fords out there like the amazing Fusion, 500, and all new Explorer. You can say I'm drinking kool-aid too all you want but you are yourself friend. Your kool-aid is just made from another country with a heavy dose of rice! For the record, I love Harley Davidsons. They have a manly sound to them unlike that girly whine sport bikes make and I like Buell bikes so screw you there and if you don't like Harley, there's always Polaris.

"Have you looked at a Victory lately?" You have no idea how happy it makes me to see someone is aware of Polaris industries. Everyone on my line has rice sledes and ATV's. They all are pissed at me for driving GM, which my parents work for. But when I ask why they don't support the 5000 plus American workers that Polaris employ's, they all say they build shit. LOL makes me laugh. Thats 5000 plus just might drive Toyota or Honda, lets hope they don't feel the same as the guys on my line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of their newer line Victory products are really awsome. They are getting really sexy. All they need is a beginner crusier like the HD Sportster with a small V Twin motor, somewhere between 600-900ccs making 50 hp for aound $6,000 and I'm in. Just make sure it looks bad to the bone.

[/quote Polaris is new in the bike game but they are the oldest snowmobile company out there. Lets hope the public doesn't share your view with the Fusion, and say the same thing you said "so of course the first few years are going to be crap".
