...Korean cars? And no GM or Chrysler? Hmm now that the facts are in, General Motors does not seem to be in the top 10. Toyota is #1.
I bought a new Toyota Venza AWD with my $4,600. Yes it is made in America, by non union workers, designed in Japan and the engine & transmission is built in Japan.
Not quite the effect that Barry Obama hoped would have on Government Motors and the United Auto Workers?
Quote (AP News story 4 hours old):
"Eight of the top-10-selling vehicles are made by Japanese and South Korean companies, with the Toyota Corolla claiming the top spot as the most popular car in the trade-in program. Toyota Motor Corp. also overtook General Motors Co. with the greatest share of sales under Cash for Clunkers, which offers consumers discounts of $3,500 or $4,500 for trading in older vehicles for more fuel-efficient new models.
"The only two vehicles made by American manufacturers on the list of top sellers were the Ford Focus and the Ford Escape. The Focus had held the top spot early on in the program, which officially began July 27, but it has since slid to No. 3."

OK Poindexter, if all of a sudden Toyota is an "American" car just because it was built here, then why did Barry purchase GM and the taxpayers funded it?? Hmm??
I don't see Toyota asking for handouts, they just build better cars and sell more of them.
