Buying off shore items makes us part of the problem not the cure.
PS Ohioians?
I agree, some of the best Honda's I've owned were built by AMERICANS,
right here in Ohio. Too bad they must work for free since the profits went to Japan. Automotive manufacturing has been a WORLD business for quite some time.
It's true, buying "off shore" never helped the Big Three. But the American Automotive Dynasty has nobody else to blame but themselves for not building what MANY Americans wanted, and that's why they're in the shape they're in today.IMO
