Lotus/Porsche/bmw/some other luxury brand. Remodel society for the better.

By making us use more gasoline?  :huh:
Making cars luxury items.

Tyr is the Anti-Ford?

I dunno about that; neither has a problem with anti-Semitic remarks.  :P

I am abstaining on this thread.  Even communist Russia had more than one auto manufacturer.  :mad:

In that case you should have gone for Alfa Romeo; hardly any petrol used as the cars are always breaking down/in for repairs and people would desert car driving in droves for any other vaguely practical mode of transport.  :)

The fierce competition in the world automotive industry is beneficial to consumers. Lots of choice, a lot of innovation and constant pressure on prices.

Damn so much for American patriotism.  :P

Americans have never expressed patriotism through buying American products.

But might it still be a patriotic thing to do; high marginal propensity to import WTF ? :unsure:

I am all for buying American, if a suitable Made-in-the-USA alternative is available.  In fact, I will go out of my way to do so.  But ultimately, quality and suitability to my needs are the primary deciding factors.
