Quote - Hehe, well Doric - my Tacoma was built in Kentucky,
You say built, you mean assembled. Engine, transmission, suspension, the expensive parts, all made outside the U.S. Bodywork is cheap, punch presses and forming presses, there's less than half a minute actual work time on any body panel. Body panels then assembled and welded by robots. I'm not certain any of the body parts were manufactured in the US either, probably came by boat from the orient.
My 2004 Dakota finally needed engine work a couple of months ago, replaced one spark plug. Granted, it has less than 38000 miles, but those are not the good kind of miles, I don't drive out of town without a very good reason, so that's 99% town miles. 2 miles from my home to the bank, and that's about as far as I drive normally.
Enough car crap, if you like your Atoyot, continue, but I'll never drive any jap car. Dodge and Chrysler have always been a good choice for me, I'll stick with what I know works.
Doric.
The "I" in Doric is Silent.
