I like the part of OnStar that lets me start my truck with my phone and check its status. I’ve never used any of the rest of it. Why they don’t have a package just for that, At presumably a lower price, I don’t know. I guess they have to have something to make people buy the rest of that bloatware.

Fain noted that around one-third of UAW members had voted for Trump in the previous two election cycles,

Well… the other 2/3 are going to get what they are voting for.
Enjoy the breadlines.

In Chicago I see way more foreign cars most likely owned by Democrats. In NW Indiana where I live more American made cars probably owned by Republicans. Seems strange to me. It’s just an observation I don’t have data to prove it.

What do you consider American made?

What do you consider American made?

I mean in a traditional kind of way. Ford, Chevy, Buick, Mopar brands. I realize it’s more complicated then that.

 

[oze]

Waaay more complicated. You definitely can't judge by the badge on the hood.

Mopar is as good as dead, Stellantis is killing them.

And it pains me to say that, as my grandfather worked many, many years for Chrysler Corp.

"Mopar" died a long time ago. The only vehicles they have that are even worth a **** (but certainly not worth what they are charging for them) are Jeeps and Ram. And they are only worth something for their names, certainly not their quality or reliability. I don't think Dodge or Chrysler brands are long for this world.

Yep. He retired in the late 80s.

FCA wasn't too bad but Stellantis may very well be the death of them all (pricing, production, and inventory issues).

My '19 Ram has been trouble free, can't say that for my previous F150 (and a much higher end truck). GM is getting closer, but no one can match Rams interior...

My point was this. These cars below are not bought as often by liberal democrats living in Chicago as much as the probably Republicans living in NWI. But still the union goes for Democrats.

Many Subaru and Toyota are made in Lafayette

Personally, I like the new Tundra.

Was this a different V6 than the Tacomas had? Because there sure was a bunch of them sold.

No idea, I've got a Ram in the garage, so I only know enough to poke a close friend who drives a Tundra (and is on his 3rd)...
