“IF I’m correct, then what? You’re saying that Hondas are better-built than Chevys and Toyotas as well. Why does this have “no bearing on the matter”?”
What has “no bearing on the matter”, if you had even bothered to read what I typed, is you announcing that that you were an American, and that it was somehow directly related to the precived quality differences between Toyota and Chevrolet. My concern was that you would attempt to incorporate the fact that you are an American into my hypothetical situation to avoid making a subjective judgment and relying on inferior objective judgments.
The fact that you are an American is neither praiseworthy nor a worthwhile factor to be included into the hypothetical compairson between Pontiac and Honda.
I’m sure you’re proud to be an American, as are millions of other Americans, as you have every right to feel proud. BUT, if you’re going to be subjective when choosing between two cars in the same segment, being American has as much relevance to the matter as what you colour socks you’re wearing or weather you add sugar to your coffee.
