Ford currently has the best warranty. (says the guy who just got back from the warranty part review and is now calling into a different quality meeting)

 

That's the problem.. American's can't seem to put together decent cars either. You think i'd go out and buy a Chevy car? uh no

 

Consumer Reporting

 

Consumer reports is a bunch of hippy ****.. I think I'll stick with jd powers who uses statistics and hard numbers...

If you look at the list whats this? caddilac, an american brand, is BETTER than honda, toyota... cheverolet (gm's main brand) is 2 (out of a hundred) behind toyota? man, run for the hills! And domestics are 4 of the top ten name plates? Quit living in the past, truth is, this is the best time in history to own a new domestic.

 

your parents got you a geo metro for a first car didn't they...

 

Americans build great products. If you look past the auto industry into agriculture, the US produces the top brands. Using unionized labor producing top quality products.

 

Oh and living in Wichita I guess I have to mention the aerospace industry which produces some of the best planes in the world.

 

#9 is very right..

 

I know right? I felt bad even writing that...Maybe if Buell went liquid cooled they could gain a little ground...at least thats what Ive heard...

 

um... buell did go liquid cooling, 2 years ago...

ooops! I could have swore I saw an ad recently for the new "air cooled" Blast.
Guess I was talkin out the side of my **** on that one...I wonder if it would hang with an R1 tho? in performance and reliability

 

And if liquid cooled why keep the huge dumb looking air scoops on it? OK looks are a matter of opinion but I dont like em myself...

 

side mount radiators are in thos pods, like the RC51 has...(sidemounts not pods)

 

They're still ugly.

As far as cars, there are so many people brainwashed into thinking that the only good cars come from Japan. That's simply not the truth. You can get an american car that gets the same or better fuel mileage, will last just as long, and costs you thousands less initially.

 

um, strike two, they discontinued the blast entirely..read the ad this time..

 

The blast was a huge turd, it didnt even really count as a Buell. And the single problem with the american car industry is the UNION. if they could get rid of it or make some serious changes, the domestic market could drop MSRP's way down. I'll still take an SRT8 challenger or Viper or ZO6 any day!!

 

Are you pickin on me Matt? I'm startin to feel like your pickin on me
I guess I havent looked very closely at anything from Buell in a while..including thier ads LOL...You pickin on me? At least I drive a domestic truck...so stop pickin on me!

 

Hey man I'm not making fun of you, I know you've been outta the bike scene for too long.. gotta get you back into the know, Buell is headed in the right direction is all I'm saying, just not there yet.. Knowledge is power!

 

I didn't know they discontinued the blast. I do get a supplier discount on Harelys and Buell's, but I don't see myself buying one anytime soon.

 

What crack pipe you smok'n. We can't even build enough Camaro's to meet the demand. The car smoked every other car in it's class, from HP to braking

Corvette ZR1 smokes the Italian Richy cars for half the price.

New CTS smokes Beemers half the price

The only thing (thank GOD) we don't make is a stupid Prius, Carola, Cameri and whatever but ugly vehicles Japan is making. The only vehicle we currenty make with any amounts of poor warranty is the AVEO, and that stupid thing is made in Korea. But when you can buy one new for 9K, get what you pay for I guess.

I don't know, but right now GM is making the badest azz vehicles I've ever seen. I wouldn't have said that 10 years ago, but now. How can you even argue it anymore.

Just my two cents.
