Time to take Nationalism out of auto buying?

It's a global market, deal with it

"Toyota vs. GM shouldn't be about countries of origin. Today, Toyota vs. GM is no different than Toyota vs. Ford or GM vs. Ford. Fact is, in the global auto market, Toyota is winning. Given the prospects for auto sales in the U.S. for the rest of the year, the automaker with less dependence on our market will easily remain in first place." (MotorTrend)

There are many out there whom have avoided hybrid cars, well, because most hybrids are made by foreign automakers. Well, stop it. I'd rather buy an efficient foreign car so that I can buy less foreign oil than an American car that guzzles way too much foreign oil. Ultimately, I'd rather give my money to Japan than to Hugo Chavez or to the Saudi royal family - and I'd like to give us little money as possible to Chevron more than anything else.
