@Grawdaddy: I really don’t know what you’re driving at. I wasn’t attempting to make a big deal about my American citizenship. I would assume that most of the people on this thread are Americans, too.
By the way, people choose their cars based on any number of factors, some of them subjective. So? A carbuyer has a right to do that. I wouldn’t think to dictate to someone else, the bases for his or her car purchases. And, after reading an untold number of posts, on an untold number of message-boards, many Americans DO adhere to “buy American first.” What’s wrong with that? It’s not for us to judge these people.
There are no “hypotheticals” here. You made a challenge to the quality of Pontiacs. How did you expect me–as a Pontiac loyalist–to respond? You claimed that Hondas were better-built. Perhaps they were. As I said in an earlier post, I might have been prepared to concede that. But, another post claimed that Chevy was better than Toyota, so I though that I might question your claim, assuming that Chevy and Pontiac were roughly similar in build quality. I see no indication of obfuscation here. Perhaps a subsidiary issue is, Honda build-quality vs Toyota build-quality, but I don’t intend to pursue that. My focus is on Pontiac, and seeing the brand return.
Apparently, your focus is on Pontiac vs Honda. You prefer Honda, and I certainly respect that. I wouldn’t attempt to criticize your choice. Likewise, please respect my preference for Pontiac.
