Screw the altruism. I work hard for my dollars and when I have to give them up to buy something big, I want to make sure I'm getting maximum return or enjoyment. That's the way the capitalism is supposed to work. My last three big vehicles were all GM - Suburban, Escalade (made in Texas), Escalade (made in Mexico). Went back to get a third Escalade, however they had cheapened current model IMHO - too much plastic and fake wood inside. Instead, went for an Audi Q7 and while I was at it, traded in my older Audi A6 on a new Audi S5 Cab. Great cars and my dealer provides great service. German-made are relatively cheap right now, however that won't be the case if/when the Eurozone implodes. Lot of folks are focused on the Germans bailing out the PIIGS, however fact of the matter is that the PIIGS have neutralized what would have been a much stronger DM, which would have driven German manufacturing elsewhere.
My eldest son just started university and decided on Engineering. At first, he wanted to take Automotive Engineering, but I cautioned that he should only do that if he wanted to live out his career in Korea...
