.... I asked those with USA brands ..Why the USA brands....."Peer Pressure"

.......Here are some "real-world" stats.....our kids...and some "grands"

.......Parents ..........of the..13 vehicles ....9 are foreign
.......Grandkids........of the....6 vehicles ....4 are foreign


FWIW all are VERY happy with their choices........NO ONE had a "foreign" brand 17 years ago.
