Stone Cold Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 might as well buy a american made toyota! Fuck that Mexico made mother..... American made Toyota - American jobs+ ,but the majority of profit goes back to Japan Mexican made Ford - should have been built in the US , but the majority of profit goes back to Dearborn,US. What about that thought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1993Stang Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I'd buy a American built Toyota before I'd buy a Mexican built Ford....not that either is going to happen. K, if you want to buy an American built Toyota and watch those profits go to Japan, good luck with that but a Mexican made Ford is driving Ford's bottom line. The Milan is an awesome car to drive and I wish it was built by all U.A.W. members here in the State but if there is a small profit check in the future because of the Fusion sales, will you be returning that check? Check the parts and how many are directly coming from the States. I do totally get your point though, don't get me wrong. If Ford continues to profit from a car that is built in Mexico instead of the U.S., the future might change and that I am afraid of. Right now though, it is great that Ford is improving.

Right, if anything it gives Ford good PR which might help in overall sales of other brands made in the U.S. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about that thought? When did you get a profit sharing check? Not sure about Toyota but Honda employee's in the states get a profit check every quarter.

Them profits go in big exec's pockets, not the blue collar worker who spends their money in our grocery stores, malls, restaurants, bars, bowling alleys. These profits go to building plants in mexico, brazil and china. So fk yeah, I would buy an american made toyota over a mexico built car, if I had no other choice. I would also tell a non ford person to buy a american built car over aa fusion. When I give out my pins, I ask what vehicle and if it is one of those mexico made cars I tell them to get bent!
