Ford auto sales best in ten months

My truck IS a Toyota. Made in Freemont, CA!

I was wondering if anyone would catch that.

Excellent! Hard to overcome that marketing blitz and resulting conditioning that the average American consumer has endured. A brand once equated with foreign labor (Toyota) now stands as one of the few brands that is truly supportive of American labor in this country. To the point where it is far and away well ahead of the big 3; the purveyors of the aforementioned blitzkrieg. . .

Just goes to show you how effective that propaganda can be! All that flag waving and patriotism being exuded by GM in the 80's, 90's, and today within their marketing ads is nothing more than deceit. . . Of course, if the POTUS can get away with it why not them?

Thanks!  Call me a traitor if you like but I have been driving Toyota's since 1972 (with one eight year lapse when I owned two Dodge Caravans  - those things were truly crappy.)

Every Toyota that my wife and I have owned (she has had one of every generation of the Celica) have been entirely trouble-free. How many can say that about 37 years of car brand ownership?

You're no traitor. That is a US labor endorsed brand these days.

US auto manufacturers (Big 3) were so busy trying to move ops to other countries because they felt the labor costs would help them compete, that they forgot to consider consumer wants and needs, as well as quality.

You're family has been the smart one. While US consumers threw, and continue to throw in some cases, good money after bad, you saved money and enjoyed what quality auto making contributes to the ownership experience. Reliability and efficency.

Nicely done!

I am definitely buying a Toyota, or Honda. Probably a Toyota. Had Fords (Fix or repair daily). Have a Chevy, along with $15K of repairs on a $13K car that is 13 years old.

Obama's fix was for the feds to take over the banks and even GM when it didn't have to. Yes, I do blame him.
