If there were no more brands than American?

omg Ruffian, I have been sitting here for DAYS thinking about this question and I kept coming back to, I'd rather have a horse than have to get anything but a 4runner again...
 
Next to a ride on a well trained reining Quarter Horse, I can't say other than in my 4Runner another ride has made me grin for no other damn reason than I'm simply too happy to keep the giddiness inside.
I've got a buckskin filly out in CO that needs to come to CA to get her learning. She's only 2 so I'm at least 3 or more years off having an equine trail companion again. Until then, in my 4Runner I'll keep riding off into the sunset. Happy trails!
 
Do not knock VW! That is my daily drive and I have a diesel Golf and it works like a charm..that is my 3rd VW in 10 years never had an issue with any of them.

What year and milage? My dad has a 99.5 jetta 5 speed tdi 233k miles, i put more miles on that than the 4runner because of the mpg's.
 
I'll buy a Mustang :wtf: because when I look at my mirror, its still there even in 5000 elev..

Didn't realize how close you are to me! haha. I work with horses too... just leasing now but eventually I WILL have my Perch/TB.

I'd walk too. Or just save my money and buy me my horse. Horses are expensive but theyre cheaper than owning/"fixing"/maintaining anything labeled as American!
 
I've had a bad history with USA vehicles and a great history with USA weaponry, so I think I'd trust this bicycle more than most anything else!

Like SandMan said, I would be on my bike or roller blades. Hell those two would be more reliable than the pos that my father-in-law has (02 Tahoe).....
 
If I HAD to choose an American make, then it would definitely be a Chevy Silverado with the Duramax engine.

My family has a farm and I drive the 2000 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the Vortec 6.0 all the time and I actually like the truck. It is actually very reliable and it takes its tough and harsh duties really well.
 
I am about foreign cars all the way ..but one thing I really like about the American brands is the cabin space. Everytime I rented a car for a long trip it has been an american. One time I tried a corolla thinking of saving on the gas ...and 2 minutes after ... I made a U turn and exchanged it for a chevy Impala even though I hate the look of that car I got to admit it is very comfortable vehicle. I really didn't care about the brand but for the comfort of the ride for the long trip. Thats one thing I like from American brands over the foreign for sure.
 
This is now a reskinned Mercedes-Benz ML. Not really American anymore, is it?

Direct Quote from Jalopnik:

"Jeep Grand Cherokee's built on the same rear-wheel-drive unibody platform underpinning the new Mercedes-Benz ML. It's one of the few things Chrysler got out of its ill-fated "merger of equals" with the German automaker. There's also a new Quadra Lift air suspension system that provides height control and lifts the new Grand Cherokee up 4.5" from park mode to a maximum ride height of 11.1" for better off-road capability. There's also a select-trac system with four separate 4x4 systems, each set up for different driver needs. But of all that, the chassis's about the only thing they get from Mercedes."
 
I wouldn't pay $$$ on any of the big 3 American brands ford, chevy, dodge, chrysler, gmc, etc. I would definately buy me a Harley Davidson soft tail. Whats more American than that! If i want to go off roading Ill Rent me a horse.

I'm going for the 'dead' US brands.

A H3 to wheel and thrash.
A Pontiac G8 for dd...... and thrash.

The G8 is actually made by an Australian car company called Holden (In Australia its called the Holden Commodore). That explains why its a more badass, better engineered, longer lasting car than any other pontiac (or any GM for that matter).

I think I would want a four door Wrangler, or a Ford Raptor...
 
I already have the 2011 Grand Cherokee in the garage so I'll go with that. It's damn nice compared to the olden days. The other spot in the garage would have this...

I would definetly get a Ford F150 or 250. Just for the simple fact that Ford didn't take bailout $. Why give the other makers more of my money for a car that they should be giving me for bailing their a$$es out?
