Whenever the time may be for you to purchase or lease anew vehicle, keep this information in mind. You might want to give more consideration to a car manufactured by an American-owned and /or American based company.
Apart from Hyundai and Volkswagen, the foreign carcompanies contributed nothing at all to the citizens of the United States.
It's OK for these companies to take money out of this country, but it isapparently not acceptable to return some in a time of crisis. I believe we should not forget things like this.
Say thank you in a way that gets their attention. Pass it on.
