Red or white wine with crow
I guess I will be eating a lot of crow for a while, reading some of my past post you will see that I am 100% buy America when I can, I have argued that even if your Honda or Toyoto was build here in the states and the local community benifited, the big money went to foreign countrys therefore hurting the US, I still believe that as I drive my new 2009 fiat laramie crewcab, now do I change my tune or eat crow for the next 3 years? does it taste better cold or hot,fried or baked!

Like you I try as much as possible to buy American myself and being that starting out anyway, Chrysler is only going to be 20% owned by Fiat, 9.85% by the US Goverment, 2.46% by the Canadian Goverment and 67.69% by the UAW I would say a majority of your money will be going to the US so I dont see no big deal.

Everyone has their own priorities in deciding what they will buy and why. Although I support building vehicles here in the US, I place a higher value on where the vehicle was developed and engineered. I'd rather support companies that hire American engineers and managers. I'd like my children to someday have the option to work for an American company that makes the products we drive if they so choose. But like I said, everyone has their own priorities. That's just my $0.02....

buy american? I too try as much as possilbe. My last three vehicles have been mopar. But get this . . .
My '02 PT Cruiser was assembled in Mexico.
My '06 300C was assembled in Canada.
My '09 Ram was assembled in Detroit.
American? well . . . North American maybe
Personally, I'd prefer a US company building cars in the US, but that's not realistic anymore. But I wouldn't dis cars built in the US even if it's foreign owned - people are working. Unless they're illegal workers (kidding!).

Yeah, these days you won't find anything that is 100% American-built (at least when it comes to vehicles). You can either choose vehicles that were developed and engineered in the US and support white collar US jobs or you can purchase vehicles built in the US and support blue collar US jobs.

Fiat paid exactly ZERO for a few thousand dealer outlets, parts distribution, engineering tech centers etc.... They can now enter the US market with their infrastructure paid for by someone else (tax payers and bond holders) and given to them. We have some incredibly idiotic fools in Washington.
