Just because they choose to assemble some of their vehicles in Canada does not make them "imports". It makes it an American designed car, produced by an American company, assembled in Canada.

Calling an F-Body an "import" is just plain retarded.
im·port - v. im·port·ed, im·port·ing, im·ports
v.tr.
1. To bring or carry in from an outside source, especially to bring in (goods or materials) from a foreign country for trade or sale.

I wouldn't consider a F-body an import myself, but technically, if they were made in Canada, they are. It doesn't matter if the company is american or not. By the definition, some Toyota's, Mitsu's, etc. should be considered domestics.

BTW, "Domestic Dumbass"( ), don't you feel a little stupid when you get that user title from a site that is for your own car?

This thread sucks. It needs to have it titled changed to my dress is purtier than your dress. I like the way the new Eclipse looks like when compared to the 350z. If only they made it perform like an Evo.
