Shheeeesh.

We fly the flag, we sing the anthem, we buy foriegn cars.

There is no hope for us.

Hangtime get it through your skull:  AMERICAN CARS SUCK!    :)

It's better for US industry to stick to things they do well, and cars ain't one of them!

So I vote with my dollars to push US industry into areas where they can compete.

Not that I'm a fan of VW - blech!  But if some people need that "German Engineering" illusion of superiority so they can rationalize the fact that they got ripped off, I wish them luck.   :)

From what I was told by the salesman the 2002 TDI Jettas are made in Germany and Austria. Also the color is Tornado Red with beige leather interior and the GLS model.

I drove a Golf for years.  It was the funnest car to drive that I have ever been behind the wheel of.  It lasted without anything other than regular maint. for 200,000 miles, when I sold it.  It was made in Mexico.  Never even replaced the clutch.

I would love to own another VW, I don't think they are the finest cars, but bang for the buck and fun factored in, I don't think they can be beat.

You can use truck pumps legally but dont let them catch you using agricultural diesal. They can tell farm diesal becuase it has a different dye in it. IRS will definitely rip you a new one for that and I have seen diesal checkpoints once before in Texas.  By the way, I love and admire German cars and engineering too, but my favorite vehicle is the one I own and its about as American as it gets:  Ford F-250 superduty 4x4 with powerstroke diesal.  The only bad thing is I'll guarantee you that I dont get anywhere near the mileage of my dads Jetta TDI, but then again I didnt buy it for mileage. With 7.3 litres of diesal power thundering away under the hood who gives a fart about mileage anyway!   :D

Just bought a 2002 XTerra, V6 with a stick.  I love it.  Best 4x4 I've owned since my 89 Bronco.  I've already taken it offroad twice (notice I go off-road at least once a month, I didn't buy a SUV to use it as a damn station wagon  :rolleyes: ) It's smooth, has nice power and with the limited-slip rear end, will go anywhere (when I say anywhere, I mean if you know what you're doing  ;)).

BTW, I believe it was built in Tennesse   :D
