Yes it is true; this is just too sad, nothing to say. All I can do now is expose

the truth. If you look under your hood and to the front of the engine you

will see the two valves I have circled in the photo, they are both air pump

valves, and both have JAPAN stamped on top... I'm afraid to look any

deeper... hooah

"Someone please tell me this ain't so."

 

OH NO! FirebaseD has resurfaced and he brought the rice!

 

just cover it up with Benz!!!

 

Quick, pull the sound system out before it attacks Pearl Harbor.

Welcome back FireBase.

 

And that ain't the worst ! Somebody wrote "Valves" on Firebase's cowl in red spray paint. Makes me homesick for Hollywood.

 

And probably the only two parts on the car that will last!
Just kidding.

It's all wishful thinking. I doubt very seriously the Crossfire will change in any way. Does anyone really think DC is going to sink any money into the car redesigning it when they're all put giving them away?

 

My Japanese girlfriend would be proud... ...but that still won't entitle her to the right to drive it!

 

I know there are a some Harley owners on this site, so please correct me if I'm wrong. But didn't Harley Davidson use some Japanese parts on their bikes a while back?
I've been out of motorcycling for about 20 years now, but I thought Harley once used Japanese forks, and a few other assorted parts.
Porsche did extensive work on Harleys new V-Rod engine, so maybe it truly is a "world economy".

 

In an article in today's Wall Street Journal, they point out that only 65% of a Ford Mustang's parts come from the US & Canada compared to 90% for a Toyota Siena. You don't even know which cars are American any more...

 

And don't forget the Lotoy (Lotus with Toyota engine) giving that car better fuel efficiency!

 

Harley still has lots of parts from Japan.
I think it is funny when harley owners make fun of my suzuki.

 

Better power efficiency too! Power per litre is 50% better in the Elise over the Crossfire!
