A bargain price is not always a bargain. What if your son or daughter
worked at Ford or GM and lost his/her job because the Toyota Camry sold
for $3,500.00 less than a Taurus or Impala; Would that Camry you bought as
a retirement gift to yourself still seem like such a bargain?


I agree with your basic point, but but both the Camry and Sienna
are made in Toyota plants inside the U.S.A., I believe. I just made a net
run looking into this and saw in one netsite information claiming
at least 50% of the Toyotas sold in the US were built in the US. I also
suspect that a lot of Ford and GMC auto parts are not US made. I'd rather it
did not, but the worlds economy constantly mutates and workforces must
change also. We badly need to keep
some seed industries inside the nation, though, just in case we get into
wartime supply difficulties.
