Yeah, I tired the Honda route. I really wanted to buy a Honda Insite Hybrid. He blew another gasket and told me the money still went to Japan. In this state we have a plant for Toyota, and he feels the same way about American built Toyotas. The funny thing is, HE bought a $40,000 Chevy 4x4, which he learned AFTER HE BOUGHT IT, was assembled in MEXICO!
-He not like that, and he made it clear he did not like it and would not of bought it if he knew before he signed the contracts.
He also does not care if a Honda has MORE domestic content than a Chevy! lol - Remember the GM GEO METROS? We all know GM just slapped their name on those cars for a few years, and they had like no American content. Shucks my Cobalt is only 71% American AND Canadian content. But when your dealing with a UAW retiree that has made a darn good living, and now is resting in a very nice home that is paid off early, just like his cars, well it's difficult to even consider talking about the other side. He got in and out of the American auto industry at the most perfect times. It's no longer possible to do what he did, the deal is no longer on the table. I supposed I would of done the same thing if I was of the same generation.
