mitsubishi makes our opti components. pretty sure the rotor and disc wheel.

and our window motors arent made here or canada. so theres another thing to bash. probably france cause of the de carbons

the 10 bolt. i bet during shipping to canada they got weak. i bet the aussies have their 7.5's into the 10's with dingo oil.

I'd pick Mexico over China every time. At least they are our neighbor and share many of the same interests.

Funny how your trying to use American made parts in your Camaro built in Canada. Like it or not, most American made stuff is crap.

I'd rather have American made crap on my car than chinese made crap. And Canada is far better than china or mexico.
Heres a newsflash for you *******, the chinese government doesn't like us.
And even more obvious, the more American made parts you pass up on for parts made in other countries hurts our economy and will eventually effect you. Are you that ignorant.

Exactly. We are better off trading with Canada and Mexico. It just is more beneficial in many ways.

Shipping Costs.
Shipping Time.
Helps our neighbors more.
Latin America has a chance to improve to 1st world if we help. The Orient is already screwed due to population. You buy from China the money goes directly to the military. You buy from South America and it goes to the economy.


But, with the falling dollar more and more labour will come back to the USA cause our products are cheaper now. We have fallen to 1,5USD=1,0euro

Alot of people don't like the peoples of the Americas but I think we need them. They have labour, natural resources, food, ect. Plus, Brasil is a vitual proving ground for GM's small trucks!

Man trust me guys I work in the food industry and big companies that outsource there products probley have better quality control than what we have here in the US. it is just based on the fact that labor is so cheap, so they can afford to spend high dollars on quality. It is not always like that but for the most part it is.
