While I don't think this is quite the same as what Soupking experienced, it makes me wonder how people who own a 'Ferrari' 308 feel about the fact it was built by Fiat as Ferrari sold to Fiat in 1972. Now Fiat is owned by Ford, so I think Ford owns Ferrari. What do the buyers of the new 'Ferrari's' think about their car if you explain it to them they are Fords?

Also, on last comment, I work for an American manufacturing company, in management (the day gig). Besides me, only one other person who is in management (as in not direct labor) that drives an American vehicle.

I could go on and on about American manufacturing and our govenrment's policies that drive business overseas. But I have digressed to far already. Sorry!
