Spinoff to Auto Industry: Are your cars Foreign or Domestic?

I'm very curious how this breaks down here amongst LIFers ...

Re: Spinoff to Auto Industry: Are your cars Foreign or Domestic?

foreign. our 2 cars before them were American, never again.

Re: Spinoff to Auto Industry: Are your cars Foreign or Domestic?

We have a Honda and before that DH had a Nissan.

Re: Spinoff to Auto Industry: Are your cars Foreign or Domestic?

all domestic

Re: Spinoff to Auto Industry: Are your cars Foreign or Domestic?

We're not just interfaith

My car is Foreign (Mazda) and I don't think I could ever buy Domestic.

DH's car is Domestic (Chevy), he'd never buy Foreign.

Our parents are the same as we each are (mine only Foreign, his only Domestic).

Re: Spinoff to Auto Industry: Are your cars Foreign or Domestic?

both honda's DH's car was american before and was a piece of crap. we would never again get an american car. And I'm all for supporting american made products.

Re: Spinoff to Auto Industry: Are your cars Foreign or Domestic?

We have one of each. One Chrysler, One Mitsubishi.

Re: Spinoff to Auto Industry: Are your cars Foreign or Domestic?

At the moment we have a Toyota and a Honda. In theory, I really want to buy American, since everything else I buy seems to be made in China. But my first car was a Plymouth, and I had tons of problems with it. Growing up, we had Fords and leared that it meant "forever on road dead" so I won't try one of those again either.

Re: Spinoff to Auto Industry: Are your cars Foreign or Domestic?

Until my recent car which I bought last year, all my cars were domestic. Now I have a Honda. DH has a domestic.

I am not against US cars. I just did not find it this time for what I was looking for.

Re: Spinoff to Auto Industry: Are your cars Foreign or Domestic?

it was one of each till I got my Acura in June. now it's all foreign, but my car was made in OH.

Re: Spinoff to Auto Industry: Are your cars Foreign or Domestic?

Dh drives a Ford and I drive a Chevy. I used to drive a Ford and owned a Dodge and a Pontaic before that.

Re: Spinoff to Auto Industry: Are your cars Foreign or Domestic?

All American.

Our parents and siblings are all domestic too.

between us, we have:
2 Jeeps
2 Chevys
4 Mercurys
and a Caddy

Re: Spinoff to Auto Industry: Are your cars Foreign or Domestic?

a car is a car...

we have one of each but because of fuctionality, our needs and of course price. If you had to buy American and they weren't offering you anything..do you still buy??

Re: Spinoff to Auto Industry: Are your cars Foreign or Domestic?

We have 2 Chevys We did have forgeign cars (twice, never again). I have a german sports car & DH had a Japanese pick-up (but it was built in the USA). I definately prefer American trucks.

DH bike is Chinese though. I would love to get him an American bike, but they are just too darned expensive to buy & to maintain.

Re: Spinoff to Auto Industry: Are your cars Foreign or Domestic?

We have a MINI and a Jetta


My first car was a good old Ford, though!

Re: Spinoff to Auto Industry: Are your cars Foreign or Domestic?

When I went to buy my first car, my father said I could buy a foreign car but that no foreign car would ever be parked in his driveway

My family only buys American, and DH has an American car too.

I know it is cheesy, but it is the biggest purchase I will ever make and I would rather support an American company with it.

Re: Spinoff to Auto Industry: Are your cars Foreign or Domestic?

my parents have NEVER bought foreign

DH is Domestic as well
Mine is foreign

Re: Spinoff to Auto Industry: Are your cars Foreign or Domestic?

One of each for us

Dh loves american muscle cars

And I perfer german cars

I don't see this changing anytime soon

Re: Spinoff to Auto Industry: Are your cars Foreign or Domestic?

GM all the way

Re: Spinoff to Auto Industry: Are your cars Foreign or Domestic?

After over 20 years of owning cars I bought my first foreign car.
American car companies & their wastefulness with fuel & their inability to change with the times forced me to buy outside of the big three.
My DH has an American truck that he isn't planning on replacing anytime soon.
He wants an American made car.

I for one can no longer support the antiquated ways of US car makers.

Re: Spinoff to Auto Industry: Are your cars Foreign or Domestic?

My Toyota - I suppose it's considered Foreign but it was actually built at the Toyota plant in TN I think? So what does that make it?

My Ford is domestic.

Re: Spinoff to Auto Industry: Are your cars Foreign or Domestic?

We both own Fords, but this summer, I set aside my Ford and got a Hyundai Sante Fe. Although, it was built in the US.

Re: Spinoff to Auto Industry: Are your cars Foreign or Domestic?

I'm the only person so far that doesn't own a car?

Re: Spinoff to Auto Industry: Are your cars Foreign or Domestic?

It is difficult to answer because although our cars are foreign the companies are currently owned or used to owned by American companies

for example:

Ford owns: Ford, lincoln, mercury, volvo, mazda
until recently they owned Land Rover and Jaguar also.

GM owns: Chevy, GMC, hummer, Saab etc.

Chrysler owns Dodge, Jeep etc. and used to own Mercedes Benz

we have a volvo, land rover and mazda
