Domestic.
It's a split house really. My mother owns a import(honda) and I love it ,and I own a Domestic and she loves it. Oh well.
Interesting 19 for import 9 for domestic.. Thought Import would be further ahead.

I mean 500 k . Because under 100 K any car u'd get from europe or japan , guaranteed you'd get a higher end car for a similar price from the domestic market . We're doomed by geography like that ...

Haha yeah right Mitsu couldent design a reliable lawn mower engine.They are the toilet of the import and prolly wouldent have made it here if it wasent for chrysler funding everything.That has since changed.I prefer domestic for several reasons.I like the looks of american cars.I support my homeland and dont help line some fat cats pockets overseas.I find the motors to be just as good if not better then imports with proper maintence.With americans bigger is better I can relate because im not packing a small asian .

It also depends if your well spent money will go into killing arabs or developing the technology of the future .

As for the dick comment ... FUNNY i gotta hand it to you :P ... but once again , quality over quantity and I happen to know that the asian culture is WAAAAAAY ahead sexually than us westerners . Some of us barely started to catch a glympse of their knowledge , meanwhile others will keep on enjoying their wive's fake orgasms while thrusting fast and banging her head onto the head rest for a full 3 minutes , never realising that they'd get more pleasure for a well trained 80 year old asian man with a small who'd them for 10 hours and then stop only when they need to rest

I myself prefer HP per cubic inch HP per litre makes for no torque.All work and no play makes jack a dull boy.If you want to talk about HP per litre lets look at the quad 4 180hp out of a 2L back in the 80s or even more so the chrysler 2.2 440hp 4cyl going back to 1986!
I would have to say under german rule chrysler cars have gotten uglier.Go back pre 1974 to the muslce days.
Canada is america we are one.Some argue GM could be considered canadian because of the oshawa brothers story.I support north america and I do my part in makeing sure I support the workers in this country. Tho I am aware there are import plants here.
Asian culture is not ahead of us sexually.Sexual satisfaction over there is 9%.why do you think asian women love white boys? simple put they think were groids.

if u like old muscle cars , then ya , asian imports are not for you . speed wise american cars only do it inline though .
sure some nice cars have been out lately , the new stang kicks *** , i almost bought one , but when I saw the cheap plastic interior typical of domestic cheapness i figured i should wait some more untill I have money for a real car that would spoil me .
I'm not sure about the perentage u're talking about . But you could be more than right . However don't forget that china for example has 1.2 billion people . And on top of that , lately they've been getting more western than they should be , hence lots of idiots probably appeared , and most certainly they don't teach their young to like they used to . Their traditions are getting lost unfortunatelly but TRUST ME , for thousands of years now , they have known A LOT MORE about sex than we do now . The americans discovered the functions of the pubococcygeus muscle like 20 years ago , meanwhile taoists talk about it from the times when america was a land full of cows and wild boars ( not far away from today metaphorically speaking ) . And on top of that , to capitalize on stupidity look how much bullshit Kinsey got for revealing more trouth that we could handle .
