my point is that Toyota is not flawless...like they claim. Ford has rarely advertised their vehicles as "reliable" compared to Toyota. Also, if you don't know, Toyota is owned by Japan. They just farm labor out here to save money and increase profit margins. You must be under the impression that anything made in America (by a foreign company) is a good thing because somehow it's suddenly American. Not true. Japan has strict import regulations and restrictions on our cars, but they don't have a problem here. So what that there are jobs because of the Tundra. Not that long ago, those American workers HAD jobs building cars too...but the failed management and weak policies AND the UAW problems contributed to cutbacks and plant closings.

Careful about calling the kettle black. Lots of vehicles have issues.
Talk about costs and dependability, too. Tundras are built in American and help provide jobs too.

This is beautiful. I actually have seen it on TV before and if it doesn't bring a tear to your eye, it does mine every time I see it,there's something wrong with you. A BEAUTIFUL car, from a PROUD father to a BRAVE son. God bless the USA and Thank You to Ford for showing your support for our troops.

I once was taught the 4 most common reasons an empire falls. Sure wish I could remember them! I think one was a mixture of languages, and that would make total sense - Tower of Babel?

Regardless, all empires fall. Empires are made up of fallen men, so it makes sense that the system will soon be fallen also. It's always just a matter of time. There's only one Kingdom that's eternal. The Kingdom of God, ruled by Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Long live the King of Kings!

OK, Ford lost bigtime...

I am SOoooo glad about what they're starting to do though. Bringing in small cars!

Go Small America! Downsize, simplify, just what you need...

A Ford Fiesta (which I'm sure will be renamed for the American market) is a sub-compact...bring it on. I don't care much for Ford, but I am glad for a push towards smaller cars (regardles of oil prices).

The Fiesta, however, can never beat the Fit by Honda. The only reason I don't own one is because I don't have a spare $15,000.

So are you saying you're against Government mandated hig gas mileage? Or against hig gas milage in general? I for one am loving my 65-70 mpg motorcycle!

2008-07-18T08:39:00.000-07:00

Working in the corporate world, I know how companies have to rpesent themselves to the public and to the community as more than just out for cash because it puts them in a better light. Like, they're not just about making a product and a profit from it, but they're about saving the environment, giving back to the community, etc. Humanitarian causes make a complany look better than just a capitalist venture.

But then again, what's so bad about that? Why can't business just be about business, making good products because you believe they're good, and then making profit from it?

So why not just make cars. Why pour money into a social activist group? How does that help make better cars? Are you committed to giving ALL the pulic nice cars, or to only PART of the public (gays and lesbians) nice publicity?

I guess I echo your sentiments here. Of all the people groups in need, I dare say the gay and lesbian commuinty is not one of them. Except of course their need for salvation from their sins, of which homosexuality is just one.

We're all break God's law in different ways and all need salvation, more than money or cars.

But I digress on a subject that fills up other blogs!

Good comment Jason! I'm going to do a comparison article on Honda and Saturn down the road. I've got to test drive the new Accord and Aura first. I agree on practicality and better mileage - efficiency.

Hey Jason from - www.preachtoday.blogspot.com - it's good to hear from you and thanks for checking out my blog. I do love motorcycles...but I've never owned one. If I did get one, it would be a Ducati. I really love their V-twin sound and racing history. I currently drive a 1991 Miata (no one in America makes a car like that unfortunately) As far as hybrids go, for sure! I hope we keep developing this technology. I'm working on an article to talk about this in the future. I think they are the best solution for the short term and an ongoing viable option while we develop other technologies.

Thanks again!

Rich

2008-07-01T21:42:00.000-07:00

Yeah I could go for that, some new stuff, not anymore rehash and redos. Seriously.

I remember as a kid checking our the futuristic cars in magazines like motor trend. I even saw some at a show couple times. Then I learned that protoypes never come out, only parts of them do. I was disappointed.

Well I've owned a Ford F250 and a Ford F150...both old and used, and both straight 6's!!

But now I'm a motorcycle man. I love my 2-wheels getting 70mpg and I aint going back even if we get back to $2 gas!

Although, I do really like the Honda FIT and their new Civic. I'm a Honda man I guess (own a Honda Passport and Honda Rebel) Think I'll trade in my Craftsman mower for a Honda next time too.

Basically, I now prefer foreign cars to US stuff.

AND, I WANT TO PUSH FOR "GO SMALL AMERICA" Give up on the big ol tank cars suckin gas and taking up too much space. GO small! Be practical! Unless you're hauling a work load everyday for the jobsite, forget big ol trucks and SUV's (the Passport's midsize and just right I think)
