Cool car...... if you're a white trash loser with no taste.

I drive a 2011 Mercedes E-Class. Wouldn't be caught dead in an American piece of shit.

American brand GM & Ford autos are superior for the money of any other on the entire planet.

Then you got a passport and realised that you're talking bullshit. GM?

Show me another v-8 selling factory new for $25k

I own a car just like the video. Bought it 2 years used for $20k. It is basically the same config as a Cadillac but $10k less. Sports auto is cheaper than luxury auto. It still drives like a Caddy with the same sound and AC/heat systems.

*No longer sold. Discontinued. But the Ford Mustang can still be had.

In 2010, Germany produced more than 5.5 million automobiles; the U.S produced 2.7 million. At the same time, the average auto worker in Germany made $67.14 per hour in salary in benefits; the average one in the U.S. made $33.77 per hour. Yet Germany’s big three car companies—BMW, Daimler (Mercedes-Benz), and Volkswagen—are very profitable.

How can that be? The question is explored in a new article from Remapping Debate, a public policy e-journal. Its author, Kevin C. Brown, writes that “the salient difference is that, in Germany, the automakers operate within an environment that precludes a race to the bottom; in the U.S., they operate within an environment that encourages such a race.”

There are “two overlapping sets of institutions” in Germany that guarantee high wages and good working conditions for autoworkers. The first is IG Metall, the country’s equivalent of the United Automobile Workers. Virtually all Germany’s car workers are members, and though they have the right to strike, they “hardly use it, because there is an elaborate system of conflict resolution that regularly is used to come to some sort of compromise that is acceptable to all parties,” according to Horst Mund, an IG Metall executive. The second institution is the German constitution, which allows for “works councils” in every factory, where management and employees work together on matters like shop floor conditions and work life. Mund says this guarantees cooperation, “where you don’t always wear your management pin or your union pin.”.........

yes well i'm not certain as to why two posts show up reading the same thing but i suppose it can happen. take up your concerns with the administration of the forum if it's that much of an issue. the key here is to exercise some grammar and understand that a backyard built camaro is, and will always be a piece of shit. if we reach and maintain the aforementioned parlance, things here in this thread should go swimmingly. idiot.
