I could care less where the plant is...the fact that it's a Non-American branded/produced product (over and beyond the fact that when the final buck stops, it's still not here in our country), when there's a monopoly of trade over there with regards to our products (and even Europe's as well), doesn't make it ok. One (if not the primary) of the reasons that plant exist's here, is to allow Toyota (and others of their ilk) tariff-free importing---I wouldn't want to know how many of their component parts are imported to that plant, from their home country! What happened to Pittsburgh Steel being used to make cars and trucks???

Before you go blasting me for the American products that are made in foreign soil, let me say that I'm against that too, and I wish our govt. would've penalized the big-three for exporting those jobs away as well.

To any of you who live near Janesville, Wi., I hope you thank those folks for me because of the great work they did on mine & countless other Chevy Cavalier cars over the years...given how well my car can run against the standard of Stock Eliminator (the rear-wheel-driven American Car/Truck), and how much more successful it's been in class racing as opposed to the Mitsubishi's (that tried & failed to compete), I feel even more patriotic that I've won races with the now Chevy Cobalts Father (the Cavalier), and it's great-grandfather (the Vega).

Bottom line, I (unlike too many in this fine country) believe in YOU..THE AMERICAN WORKER! I want to drive what you designed, engineered, & manufactured...by doing that for decades, America became the great country it was, and still can be...BUT WE NEED TO BELIEVE IN/SUPPORT EACH OTHER (OUR FELLOW AMERICANS, & OUR COMPANIES/BUSINESSES FIRST!!! To use poker terms...I'M ALL IN!!! HOW ABOUT YOU???
