I can only express hope that this infuriates and sickens each of you like
it did me. Whenever the time may be for you to purchase or lease a new
vehicle, keep this information in mind. I ask that you choose a product
made by an American-owned and based company. Apart from Hyundai and
Volkswagen, the foreign car companies 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 not acceptable to return some in a time of crisis.
