Hi all.

I am planning to buy a Ford Fusion , an Impala or a Toyota Camry. For me, the Camry actually looks better but I have never been a Japanese car fan.

For American customers, when you buy a car, have you ever felt any difficulties to decide whether to stick with a US product and hard working American workers and or just buy a better Japanese car? If you haven't do you think there are people who ever face this problem when they buy cars?

For people who bought American cars, have you ever thought that it would help American workers and America's industry when you were buying Amecian cars or did you buy it just because you liked it? If you were not affected by it, do you think there are many people who buy American cars for American workers and America's industry?

Uh, is this a question on the vehicles or some subtle psych  survey? You don't mention, for example, that most Camrys, too, are manufactured locally by American workers whom I'm pretty sure are hard working as their Ford or Chevy counter-parts.

If you're truly trying to determine which car to buy, then pick a domestic since you're not a Japanese car fan. Both the Fusion and the Impala have received excellent review by most consumer and automotive resources like Consumer Reports and Motor Trend.

hmm.  

The first digit of the VIN will tell you where the car is built.  1 is United States.  2 is Canada.  3 is Mexico. J is Japan. K is Korean.  Find the car you like and buy it.  They are all pretty good these days.
